In general, it is recommended that Python virtual environments are created
using the copies of Python installed by install_python()
. For example:
library(reticulate) version <- "3.9.12" install_python(version) virtualenv_create("my-environment", version = version) use_virtualenv("my-environment") # There is also support for a ":latest" suffix to select the latest patch release install_python("3.9:latest") # install latest patch available at python.org # select the latest 3.9.* patch installed locally virtualenv_create("my-environment", version = "3.9:latest")
On macOS and Linux this will build Python from sources, which may
take a few minutes. Installation will be faster if some build
dependencies are preinstalled. See
https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/wiki#suggested-build-environment for
example commands you can run to pre-install system dependencies
(requires administrator privileges).
Python is built with PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--enable-shared
set.
On Windows, prebuilt installers from https://www.python.org are used.
