py_exeR Documentation

Python executable

Description

Get the path to the Python executable that reticulate has been configured to use. If Python has already been initialized, then reticulate will choose the currently-active copy of Python.

Usage

py_exe()

Details

This can occasionally be useful if you'd like to interact with Python (or its modules) via a subprocess; for example you might choose to install a package with pip:

system2(py_exe(), c("-m", "pip", "install", "numpy"))

and so you can also have greater control over how these modules are invoked.

Value

The path to the Python executable reticulate has been configured to use.
