Great finding!
I wish I had more time to dedicate to this.

Have you seen:
http://pyclewn.wiki.sourceforge.net/features+

In my view, R as a language is very good but the tools around it are not
good.
When a matlab person tries R, their first comments are always how poor
the environment is.
Sure, one can have a debugger (with a crappy GUI in TK), and there's
some editor support, but it's kind of painful.

Integreting an R debugger with something like pyclewn would be very good.

Best,
