reticulate (version 1.20)

py_exe: Python executable

Description

Get the path to the Python executable associated with the instance currently being used by reticulate.

Usage

py_exe()

Arguments

Value

The path to the associated Python executable, or NULL if Python has not yet been initialized.

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.
