Can't import Python module using reticulate

[aldohlys]

Dear all,
I had a fully working R and Python environment under Windows 10 and recently upgraded to a new computer with Windows 11 . I run into issues with the Python piece since.

I have installed a Python package named "ib_insync" through pip, I can see it with py_list_packages() but can't import it, it raises error.

If I list installed packages:

py_list_packages():
package version requirement channel
....
6 ib-insync 0.9.86 ib-insync=0.9.86 pypi

However:

py_module_available("ib_insync"):
FALSE

I have installed latest version of RStudio : 2023.09.0 Build 463 on Windows 11. I installed miniconda through reticulate, and
py_config() returns:

If I try to import this module in a repl_python() session I get an error :
"NameError: name 'base_events' is not defined"
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Best regards,
Alexis

I did some progress - but still it is not working:

• I re-created a new r-reticulate conda environment with python version=3.11, adding conda-forge as channel
• Using pip, I installed ib_insync module in this environment
  => Now using IDLE I am able to import ib_insync in Python interactive session, and to launch Python scripts that call ib_insync module functions.
  But still does not work with reticulate

So my latest py_config is now:

python: C:/Users/aldoh/miniconda3/envs/r-reticulate/python.exe
libpython: C:/Users/aldoh/miniconda3/envs/r-reticulate/python311.dll
pythonhome: C:/Users/aldoh/miniconda3/envs/r-reticulate
version: 3.11.6 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Oct 3 2023, 10:29:11) [MSC v.1935 64 bit (AMD64)]
Architecture: 64bit
numpy: C:/Users/aldoh/miniconda3/envs/r-reticulate/Lib/site-packages/numpy
numpy_version: 1.26.0

The error I get when trying to import ib_insync is still:
NameError: name 'base_events' is not defined

Thanks for your help

If I fix the issue found in config.py -see this topic, then error is still there but becomes:
TypeError: the first argument must be callable

Still not working - but different behaviour...
