Problems with installation and configuration of `PythonCall.jl`

WuSiren · June 16, 2023, 5:02pm

I added PythonCall.jl and CondaPkg.jl in my Julia REPL’s pkg mode.
I already have Miniconda in my system (Win10) and I want PythonCall and CondaPkg to use my preinstalled Miniconda instead of downloading a new one. So following PythonCall.jl’s doc, I ran this code in the Julia REPL:

ENV["JULIA_CONDAPKG_BACKEND"] = "System"
ENV["JULIA_CONDAPKG_EXE"] = "C:/ProgramData/Miniconda3/_conda.exe"  # this is my Miniconda's path

Then, in the Julia REPL, I typed using PythonCalland received the following information, and it seemed to be stuck on the last line:

My questions:

Has the installation process completely ended? Have I already successfully installed and configured PythonCall.jl and CondaPkg.jl? What should I do next?
There was InitError: InterruptException: according to the returned information in the installation process. Does this matter?
Did it use my original preinstalled Miniconda and Python as I intended? Or did it install another one on its own?
BTW, I deeply regret that I used a username with spaces, My Name, during the win10 system installation. What consequences will this have when I use Julia? How can I remedy this?

I have to admit that my question is quite complicated and maybe very silly. I hope to receive some answer and thank you for your time spent reading and replying!

Somewhat orthogonal to your main question, but about changing your username in Windows 10, it might be possible for you to change it following one of the answers here. If it is your computer, and not a corporate computer controlled by an admin.

I imagine that if it is a corporate computer, you could pester IT to change your name.
