### 3.2 Robj type

The new type `Robj` represents an arbitrary R object. All the R functions retrieved via the `r` object (see R objects look up) are of type `Robj`:

    >>> type(r.seq)
    <type 'Robj'>

If you use the standard conversion of types, you’ll probably never find another object of type `Robj`. However, there are reasons for, sometimes, manipulating these objects (see Conversion system).
