Your problem is that the 'dat' object is in the Python world but not in
the R world. However, the expression r('dat~z1') is looking for a 'dat'
object in the R world. So you must copy the Python object to the R
world.

I don't know if this will work in rpy, but it does work in rpy2. Rpy2
has much better possibilities than rpy. But just try it:

r['=']('dat', dat)
r.ltm(r('dat~z1'))
