ValueError: 249 is not a valid RObjectType

[pulpdood]

Bug description summary

Hi, this project is really cool!

I was just working on migrating R code written by a member of my team to Python, and there are some RDS files containing models which were generated by R. I'm trying to use rdata to parse the RDS file, but I get the following error:

ValueError: 249 is not a valid RObjectType

Please forgive me I am not aware exactly what the RDS file contains, and I don't think I can disclose it. Thank you so much!

Code to reproduce the bug

No response

Data file(s)

No response

Expected result

Valid python object I can use

Actual result

Got an error

249 is the code for an R namespace, which is not currently supported. Adding it to the file was probably unintentional.

Implementing enough support to be able to load the dataset should not be difficult to do. In principle we should add the new enum for namespace and the code for the parser and converter to read the namespace name (I think that is all the info that is written) and return a special class containing it. Of course, the namespace itself would not be available in Python.

I am currently a bit busy, but if you want you can propose a PR. Otherwise I will try to do it when I have more time.

I am receiving the same error while reading RDS files. I checked the original R object and found no namespace element attached to it. Any thoughts? Thanks
