RPy does not support Python 3.x. You have to use 2.5 <= Python < 3.0. See official documentation for details.

Question
guys. I'am trying to installing RPy2-2.3.8 on Windows 7 (64bit), Python 3.3, but RPy2 seems to have quite a lot of installation problems...:(
I tried to install RPy2 by typing "python.exe setup.py install" on "cmd" on windows environment.
R version 3.0.2 was successfully installed and the path of it was added on environment variable.
However, the following error occurred. Can anybody tell what does this error mean?
**D:\>cd rpy2-2.3.8**
D:\rpy2-2.3.8>c:\Python33\python.exe setup.py install

**TypeError: startswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str**
For me it's especially weird because the error is "TypeError." Plus, what does all the warnings mean?
All kinds of discussion will be appreciated.
Many thanks.
