Invoking copyright(), credits() or license() in the iPython console gives error messages.

[Richard Fuhr]

In the iPython Console of Spyder 4.2.1 running on macOS Big Sur, we are presented with the following:

Python 3.9.1 (default, Dec 10 2020, 10:36:35) 

Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

IPython 7.19.0 -- An enhanced Interactive Python.

Populating the interactive namespace from numpy and matplotlib

but when we invoke copyright() credits() or license() in the console we get the following

copyright()

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-1-b285d9ec6f15>", line 1, in <module>

    copyright()

NameError: name 'copyright' is not defined

credits()

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-2-f4aa045118e4>", line 1, in <module>

    credits()

NameError: name 'credits' is not defined

license()

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-3-4cc1265b6348>", line 1, in <module>

    license()

NameError: name 'license' is not defined

By contrast, if we invoke python3 at a Terminal prompt on the Mac, then the copyright(), credits(), and license() function calls yield good results.

Why is that?

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. We're aware of that problem and investigating how to fix it.


Cheers,
Carlos
