Python Environment

Python enables advanced features: PDF tables, embeddings, and AI analysis.

Quick Setup

library(TextAnalysisR)
setup_python_env()

Uses conda if available, otherwise virtualenv.

Check Status

check_python_env()

Common Issues

“Another Python already initialized”

Set preferred environment in .Rprofile:

Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON_ENV = "textanalysisr-env")

Then restart R.

Environment in OneDrive

Avoid OneDrive paths. Use:

setup_python_env(method = "virtualenv", envpath = "C:/Python/envs")

Deep Learning (Optional)

For embeddings and neural sentiment:

pip install sentence-transformers transformers torch

Diagnostics

library(reticulate)
