Rpy2 isn't loading properly for my repository

I’ve had to not use rpy2 because it’s breaking the build. I’m going to re-enable if anyone can look and see what’s going on.

rpy2 needs R installed and so you can add a runtime.txt configuration file as discussed here to trigger installing R during the build.
Then the build will work again, as you can see by using the updated launch binder badge at my fork here.
