Setting up "reticulate" in R

[nhavt]

Hi there, I have a problem when setting up "reticulate" in R. For example,

  library("reticulate")
  repl_python()

I got the following error:

Python 3.13.0 (C:/Users/xxx/Miniconda3/envs/SM_VS2024/python.exe)
Reticulate 1.39.0 REPL -- A Python interpreter in R.
Enter 'exit' or 'quit' to exit the REPL and return to R.
Exception ignored in PyObject_HasAttrString(); consider using PyObject_HasAttrStringWithError(), PyObject_GetOptionalAttrString() or PyObject_GetAttrString():
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "A path to project\renv\library\windows\R-4.4\x86_64-w64-mingw32\reticulate\python\rpytools\call.py", line 6, in python_function
    return call_r_function(f, *args, **kwargs)
RuntimeError: <text>:1:2: unexpected input"

Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this issue? Below is my session info:

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Reticulate is not yet compatible with Python 3.13, which was released earlier this month. For now, please continue using Python 3.12 or an earlier version.

reticulate::install_python("3.12")
reticulate::virtualenv_create("r-reticulate", "3.12", force = TRUE)

The development version of reticulate now supports Python 3.13. To install it:

pak::pkg_install("rstudio/reticulate")

Please let us know if you encounter any further issues.
