I'm having trouble doing even the most basic things with the reticulate library in R Studio. My code looks as follows:
library(reticulate)
use_python("C:\\Users\\User2017\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36\\python.exe")
req <- import("requests")
With the last line I get an error
parse error: trailing garbage 2017\\Documents\\.condarc" } Using Anaconda Cloud api site h (right here) ------^
How can I get this working? Using requests is just for example, every other package fails. The python I'm pointing the reticulate package to is the system wide python that has various packages already installed.
My specs from running sessionInfo() :
R version 3.5.3 (2019-03-11)

[8] lattice_0.20-38
The same problem on my side:
pandas <- import("pandas")
Error: parse error: trailing garbage
Documents\\.condarc" } Using Anaconda Cloud api site h
(right here) ------^
I have followed the suggestions of smci: after removing Anaconda from my computer and re-linking to another python installation, the problem has disappeared:
use_python("~/Python36/python")
os <- import("os")
Hope that helps!
Addition: Python 2.7.11, Anaconda2 4.0.0 64-bit
