'CreateProcess' failed to run...

[nicolapasquino]

I am using Rstudio 2022.07.2 with R 4.1.3 in Win10.
Apparently for no reason, this morning I started receiving the following error message for every function provided by the reticulate library:

For example:
> library(reticulate)
> pd <- import("pandas")
Error in system2(command = python, args = shQuote(script), stdout = TRUE, : 'CreateProcess' failed to run 'C:/PathToPython\python.exe "C:/PathToRLibraries/reticulate/config/config.py"'

I have searched the web for similar issues but only came across this post that suggested searching within the reticulate issues. Since I don't seem to have been able to find any solution, I decided to open a new issue.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi, can you please provide additional diagnostics you can provide for me to reproduce the issue?
E.g., sessionInfo(), which should contain the reticulate package version.
Are you also seeing the same error outside the RStudio IDE, e.g., in Rterm or Rgui?
