if ( pyIsConnected() ){
pyExec('myPyList = [1, 2, 5, "Hello R!"]')
# create a virtual Python list for an existing list

myList[0]
myList[1] <- "changed"
myList
# create a new Python list and virtual list
myNewList <- pyList('myNewList', list(1:3, 'Hello Python'))
myNewList[1]
myNewList$append(4L)
ls(myNewList)
