Case 3) No problem calling this in plain R console.

This used to work in radian prior to upgrading to development version.

It seems that reticulate 1.39 introduces some changes that break how radian interacts with it.

Downgrading reticulate to 1.38 is a workaround for now before I have time to investigate the exact cause.

remotes::install_version("reticulate", version="1.38")

At the first glace, it is most likely caused by rstudio/reticulate#1641 where it changes how the python is initialated.

Dear randy3k, the workaround with reticulate downgrade works. Thank you. Also thank you for the amazing package!

[randy3k]

I have found the culprit and reported to upstream. Hopefully they will be able to fix it soon.

[camsique]

Thank you.

[randy3k]

It should be fixed in the next reticulate release.
