rPython package fails to install on R Shiny shinya

Do the shinyapps.io servers not have python installed? Because the package rPython fails to install and it needs python installed. I find it odd if the answer is no because RStudio itself has python support.

Will the shinyapps.io servers ever have python support or is there a workaround? I'd like my published shiny app to call a python script.

Below the installation of rPython on shinyapps.io fails even though it installed and ran fine when done locally (I have python installed obviously).

In general, on shinyapps.io, python is installed, but that does not mean rPython works correctly, or that you will be able to execute your script (depending on what python packages you require).

While python itself may work we don't install scipy/numpy nor do we support installing custom python packages.
