R session aborted after reticulate::py_config

[kim4597]

I have followed the instruction here https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360023654474-Installing-and-Configuring-Python-with-RStudio and here https://docs.rstudio.com/tutorials/user/using-python-with-rstudio-and-reticulate/.

I followed the same steps earlier this year, and it worked. However, today, RStudio IDE crashes and aborted after I run

library(reticulate)
reticulate::py_config()

Restart RStudio IDE

reticulate::py_config()

then, RStudio crashes

NOTES:

Other codes that I used before to configure python (environment, package installation) are as following

C:\Users\drkim>where python
C:\Users\drkim\Anaconda3\python.exe
C:\Users\drkim\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\python.exe

What should I do to rectify this?

Hey,

you should change the RETICULATE_PYTHON, to the binaries necessary to run python

From your log, I would say that you need to point to C:\Users\drkim\Anaconda3\python.exe

And from your screenshot, I would replace in the .Rprofile file to:

Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = "C:\Users\drkim\Anaconda3\python.exe")

The .Rprofile could be unrelated, but it caught my attention that this variable is not pointed to the executable.

Hi,

Thank you. I can confirm that your solution works but that solution will use python environment outside my working directory. My main objective by using the function Sys.setenv() is to take the advantage of python environment (created using the virtualenv function) that sits inside the current project directory.

You can watch this at minute 6 from this link https://docs.rstudio.com/tutorials/user/using-python-with-rstudio-and-reticulate/

Regards,

KIM

I sent an issue to github and the developer has fixed it. You can see it here https://github.com/rstudio/reticulate/issues/827 . It works for me.

I need to do this
library(devtools)
install_github("rstudio/reticulate")

If your question's been answered (even by you!), would you mind choosing a solution? It helps other people see which questions still need help, or find solutions if they have similar problems. Here’s how to do it:

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
