pyObject(key, regFinalizer = TRUE)

is.PythonInR_Object(x)

`key`	a character string giving the name of the Python object.
`regFinalizer`	a logical indicating if a finalizer should be be registered, the default value is TRUE.
`x`	an R object.

Every PythonInR_Object has the following members:

.name the variable name used in Python.
.objname the name of the Python object (obtained by x.__name__) or NULL.
.type the type of the Python object (obtained by type(x).__name__).
.del a function to delete the Python object.
print for more information see R6 classes.
initialize for more information see R6 classes.

The other members of PythonInR_Object's are generated dynamically based on the provided Python object. The R function ls can be used to view the members of a PythonInR_Object object.

if ( pyIsConnected() ){
pyExec("import os")
os <- pyObject("os", regFinalizer = FALSE)
ls(os)
## To show again the difference between pyGet and pyGet0.
os1 <- pyGet0("os") ## has no finalizer
os2 <- pyGet("os")  ## has a finalizer
os$.name
os1$.name
os2$.name
}
