RETICULATE_PYTHON variable not being recognized with local use

[nickschurch]

I'm running your local scrip on WSL2 ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I first needed to set global write permissions on /run which then allows the script to run. Unfortunately it looks like the RETICULARE_PYTHON environmental variable is not being correctly set (I guess in rsession.sh) because rstudio server reports the error:

Error in py_discover_config(required_module, use_environment) : 
  Python specified in RETICULATE_PYTHON (/bin/python) does not exist

I also got a CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.

error the first time I ran it. I thought that this might be the problem and that the conda env might not be being activated, but rstudio-server is finding the correct R. I ran conda init again anyway and it reported no changes to anything but I am also not getting that error any more so maybe thats sorted? Still getting the reticulate error though. Any ideas?

setting the environmental variable from the R shell yields:

> py_discover_config()

NOTE: Python version was forced by RETICULATE_PYTHON

Bit weird to get the libtinfo.so.6 error by the rest seems ok.
