<p class="MsoNormal">I did already have Python 2 installed but not 3 so I called GetPython3() and this worked.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I then called GetWxPython3() and this worked. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Due to this being a Windows machine I don’t usually use for active work R and RStudio were very old so I installed R and RStudio as new, as of today before I did this. Ensuring that I selected the new version of R as that used by RStudio.
I am sighted, so I am command from RStudio (I don’t see how this would make a difference).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-NZ"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello BlindRUG, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am having some confusing trouble with WriteR… I have started from scratch with a new install of R and all associated things and still this is happening though it resolved many other issues! In WriteR when I try and save the document,
either using keyboard shortcuts or menus, it does not save. When I run Save As it brings up a window and asks for a filename etc. as expected and there is no error but it also doesn’t save. The only way I can save is by quitting WriteR. When I do this it asks
me if I want to save and if I say yes then it will then save the document. However, this leads to a lot of quitting and re-opening the document! This interrupts the workflow of being able to save, render, view. Is this something anyone has seen before? It
is quite puzzling and I don’t know where to start with what it could be.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am about to introduce WriteR to a student and I am hoping they don’t meet a similar issue! I will update whether they do or not and any differences I can see between the systems if I can.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,<br>
Emma<o:p></o:p></p>
