Deploying Shiny App with Python (reticulate) to shinyapps.io

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble deploying a Shiny app to shinyapps.io that uses Python via the reticulate package. The app runs perfectly locally — the Python environment is detected and everything works as expected. But when I deploy it, I get the following error:

[Insert key error message here, e.g., “Warning: The reticulate package is installed but no Python environment is available...”]

This is my .Rprofile:
Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON = "/Users/kivanov/.virtualenvs/r-reticulate/bin/python")

Here’s some context:

  • Python version: 3.11.8
  • R version: 4.5.0
  • .Rprofile is in the same folder as app.R and the dataset files

I'd really appreciate any tips or guidance to get this working. Thank you so much!
