New to Mac. I get an invalid Python installation error in Spyder but not when running Python in terminal

[Electron]

Received my first Mac ever a few days ago. I installed Python 3 using brew and spyder downloading it from the spyder (no anaconda)

I know that the question has been asked before but I've tried a ton of things and it isn't working:

I've just installed Spyder on a brand new Mac running Yosemite. It correctly imports certain libraries (say, gensim) that I've installed. However, when I try to import theano, I get:

DistutilsPlatformError: invalid Python installation: unable to open /Applications/Spyder.app/Contents/Resources/lib/python3.4/config-3.4m/Makefile (No such file or directory)

Note: running `python3` in the terminal, it imports theano correctly!

So do you have Python 2 installed and is Spyder using it? It should show
the version in the console.
