Help on spyder, please!!!

[Gabi Kreplak]

HI,

I've tried all the solutions hinted here, but I was unsuccessful.

I'm on a mac 10.12.4 with Anaconda working well, at least for jupyter notebook

But I'm unable to launch spyder.

I already did:

a)

spyder --reset

getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "//anaconda/bin/spyder", line 6, in <module>

    sys.exit(spyder.app.start.main())

  File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spyder/app/start.py", line 114, in main

    from spyder.app import mainwindow

  File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spyder/app/mainwindow.py", line 49, in <module>

    requirements.check_qt()

  File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spyder/requirements.py", line 39, in check_qt

    import qtpy

  File "//anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/qtpy/__init__.py", line 125, in <module>

    raise PythonQtError('No Qt bindings could be found')

qtpy.PythonQtError: No Qt bindings could be found

b)

conda update spyder

getting:

Fetching package metadata .........

Solving package specifications: .

# All requested packages already installed.

# packages in environment at //anaconda:

#

spyder                    3.1.3                    py27_0   

c)

conda update qt pyqt

getting:

Package plan for installation in environment //anaconda:

The following packages will be UPDATED:

    pyqt: 5.6.0-py27_0 --> 5.6.0-py27_2

    qt:   5.6.0-0      --> 5.6.2-0     

Proceed ([y]/n)? y

qt-5.6.2-0.tar 100% |########################################################################################################################| Time: 0:00:11   5.84 MB/s

pyqt-5.6.0-py2 100% |########################################################################################################################| Time: 0:00:00   6.57 MB/s

But spyder does not start.

Any hint?

Thank you very much.

I got the same problem. Have you figured it out?

Hi,

I have the same issue with Miniconda.

I have alread seen several forums on the same topic, but no one seem to be able to solve it...

Is there a workaround ?

Regards,

Michaël

I had the same problem on my Windows 10 machine. My work around was to run Spyder from its .exe. I did not try to run Spyder in Anaconda but from Spyders executable. I hope this helps.

Hi Aaron and all,

Wow, that solution did work very well! I'm taking the time to thank you because your tip was a real time saver! So thank you again Aaron.

And people, if you don't know how to launch your Spyder environment or things, aren't working simply launch it with the .exe file.
