Trouble loading Python in RStudio with reticulate

I am trying to run a R Markdown document which uses both R and Python code chunks. I am on macOS Catalina version 10.15.2, R version is 3.6.2 and RStudio version is 1.2.5033. I am using the reticulate package version 1.14.

which python on the Terminal reveals /Users/dhirajkhanna/opt/anaconda3/bin/python and the same is entered in my .Renviron file as RETICULATE_PYTHON=/Users/dhirajkhanna/opt/anaconda3/bin/python . Strangely when I do Sys.which('python') in my RStudio console, it shows me a different path, viz. /usr/bin/python . When I load the reticulate package, the output of py_config() is:

python:         /usr/local/bin/python3
libpython:      /usr/local/opt/python/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/config-3.7m-darwin/libpython3.7.dylib

If I specify, use_python('/Users/dhirajkhanna/opt/anaconda3/bin/python') , the output of py_config() is:

Now when I try to load Python packages in a Python code chunk, RStudio crashes:

import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

I get the "R Session Aborted" message. All this was working fine till I upgraded R. Any idea how to rectify this?

In case it helps, RStudio crashes as soon as I insert a python code chunk in the R Markdown file and start typing some code there. I don't have to execute the code chunk for RStudio to crash.

I am getting a segmentation fault while trying to run this in R:

> library(reticulate)
> repl_python()
Python 3.7.6 (/Users/dhirajkhanna/opt/anaconda3/bin/python)
Reticulate 1.14 REPL -- A Python interpreter in R.
