Hey guys,
I was trying to setup backtests locally on my Linux Debian 9 machine. The C# program ran fine. I then followed instructions found here: Lean Python
Upon building and running Lean with Python, I get the following error message:
20200710 15:24:38.223 Trace:: PythonInitializer.Initialize(): start...

I have created a conda environment with python 3.6.8 installed, and I try to execute my Lean build inside that environment. However, when I tried to look for python3.6m (which is mentioned in the log above) using "find / libpython3.6* | grep libpython3.6*", nothing is found. I also tried to install pythonnet using pip install -U git+https://github.com/QuantConnect/pythonnet, that fails as well.
Any help in fixing this problem shall be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Amulya

Hi Derek,
The issue was that pythonnet was not installed at all. I ended up following pythonnet installation instructions from Pythonnet's wiki:
https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/wiki/InstallationAfter pythonnet was installed correctly, this error went away.
Thanks,
Amulya
