How to start two instances of Spyder with Python 2.7 & Python 3.4?

[Ramprasad G]

I had spyder installed with Python 3.4 on Windows Vista about two months ago.

Today I wanted to run spyder with Python 2.7. So, went through this post & installed Python 2.7 for Spyder 

conda create -n python2 python=2.7 anaconda

Have activated it 

activate python2

Now, how do I start spyder with Python 2.7 instead of the default 3.4?

HI,

Just run

    spyder

after the activate step. That's all.

Cheers,
Carlos

Hi Carlos, thanks for the response.

I had done a complete system search to find python27 files, but it failed. Later on, learnt about

conda info -e

which showed path for python27 files and then I could start spyder from it's Scripts folder. That solved my problem.

Cheers!
