repl_python: how to parse funciton in Rstudio?

I am trying to run a python code with a custom-defined function, but running into parsing errors in Rstudio?

• If I use "run" line by line: it reads only first line of the function?
• if i select whole function, then click run: result is ok

Also, is there any chance Rstudio would do the indentation correctly within a function? If type "new line", will have 2 spaces instead of the four required?

Thanks!

Try:

library(reticulate)
use_condaenv("py2", conda ='/home/matifou/Programs/anaconda2/bin/conda', required = TRUE)

repl_python()
def helloworld(x):
    print("Hello World "+x)
    print("Hello World again "+x)


helloworld("you")
exit

Start by reproducing the reported behavior in RStudio with reticulate's repl_python() and the helloworld example from the issue. Compare running the function line by line with selecting the whole function, and check whether new lines inside the function use four-space indentation. Done means both parsing and indentation behave correctly for this example.
