no command prompt on new spyder 3.6

[Biyiha Tobie]

hello Everyone

I'm using anaconda 1.6.2. In the previous editions of spyder,  an inbuilt command prompt used to be there under tools in Spyder.

Now after updating Spyder, it's gone!!

Can someone tell me how to bring that feature back? It used to be very useful since there was no need to open a Windows command prompt to execute standalone python programs

Hi,

You need to install the spyder-terminal package to get that functionality back. You can do that by running this command in a system terminal

    conda install -c spyder-ide spyder-terminal


Cheer,
Carlos

Thanks much

I installed the spyder-package you suggested but after the installation, Spyder was not responding, so I uninstalled Spyder and reinstalled it back.

I'm using a 64bits Win10 machine.

Thanks for any other suggestions.

Have the exact same issue! Spyder freezes while trying to connect to the Kernel

Hi I am very new to this but the same problem is happening to me but when I try to install spyder terminal I get this response:

>>> conda install -c spyder-ide spyder-terminal

  File "<stdin>", line 1

    conda install -c spyder-ide spyder-terminal

                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
>>>

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi,

You don't need to run that command inside a Python interpreter. Simply open a system terminal (cmd.exe, Terminal.app or xterm/konsole) and after doing it, run the command we give you, i.e.

    conda install -c spyder-ide spyder-terminal

Cheers,
Carlos
