Hello,
Recently I have been trying to deploy in shinyapps.io a Shiny app with Keras an Tensorflow. My environment landscape was really a mess so I decided to reinstall everything (Anaconda, Python, R, Rstudio).
To set a shiny app in shinyapps.io I decided to grab an example of a shinyapp with python that is sometimes recommended: https://github.com/ranikay/shiny-reticulate-app.
This example, if I am not wrong, should work whether you run it locally or you deploy it in shinyapps.io. Without changing anything in the example, I get this error message printed in the console. When I try to run an app with Keras, without all this virtual env setups I don't have any issue.
Warning in system2(python, args, stdout = TRUE, stderr = FALSE) :
running command '"python3" -E -c "import platform; print(platform.python_version())"' had status 9009
