I usually dump data from Python to R in CSV format. I call R scripts from Python and about the only trick I use here is to read in an R script template and perform string variable expansion (interpolation in Perl) before sending it to an R process. See attached for example. For various reasons I have not used the R-Python bindings.
In this case I prefer to use rpy (look for it in sourceforge), it allow to call R directly from python, with the main advantage that the resulting objects are really python objects, and vice-versa calling R with python objects will convert them to R objects. It works quite well for me. :-)
