NOTE: it must personalized for your version of python. There is a `${HOME}/opt/anaconda3/bin/python' in the setting of $pythontex which points to my version of python3 in ~/opt/anaconda3/bin/python. This has to be personalized for the python location you are using.

Howdy,

And, of course, I forgot to attach the platexmkrc file to that message:
