With the r package reticulate, I attempted to import the python package scipy to do my data analysis. However, it says
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scipy'.
But when I use jupyter notebook, clearly I can import scipy so my computer has the package. Somehow RStudio is not importing it.
This is what I did:
library(reticulate) #import reticulate to enable python usage in r
use_python("/usr/local/bin/python3", required = TRUE) #set the path for where my python is.
from scipy.optimize import minimize #try to import the package in a python block
Then I get the error package not found. I tried so many things this afternoon but failed
First, I tried to install again using r studio with py_install("scipy"). It installs, but when I try to import again, it still reports not module found.
Second, I tried to create virtual environments by conda_create('r-reticulate', packages = "python=3") and then py_install("scipy"). Doesn't help.
Third, I upgraded the python to python 3.7. Now not only the scipy package, but all python packages like numpy, pandas also could not be imported. Of course they can still be imported in Jupiter notebook so it's not the case that my computer does not have them.
I tried the previous two things again but no help.
library(reticulate)
use_python("/usr/local/bin/python3.7", required = TRUE)
from scipy.optimize import minimize
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # for plotting
import numpy as np # for numeric calculations
import pandas as pd # for python data frame
import time
I expect to successfully import all the python packages to RStudio. And figure out a way to install new python packages and import them to r.
