Terminal crashing

[Wavemaker]

Hello,

I have a problem that both the Ipython and terminal crash in spyder. Both when I start normally or when I just started spyder. See the windows error message below. The command prompt (dos) works without problems. Outside spyder I can start python and Ipython without problem.

How can I debug what's causing this? Runnning spyder with debug doesn't show any error message.

I have pythonxy 2.6.5.6 installed on my Windows 7 work PC. I have write access only to the python site-packages folder. I have upgraded and added several python packages (for other purpose). I now have spyder. 2.1.11. The PyQt4 dependency is met. Which other packages might be causing the crash?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm sorry but with such little information is really hard for us to tell
you what could be wrong.

If Spyder doesn't crash but just the terminals, you could try to open
the "Internal console" plugin to see if there are any error messages
reported there that could help us to figure it out what's happening in
your case.

To activate the internal console please go to:

View > Windows and toolbars > Internal console

This should open a new Python terminal next to the IPython and Python
ones. All internal errors are shown there. Please check it out and if
there is any message, copy it and post it here again.

Cheers,
Carlos

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the internal console also doesn't give much information. See the attached screenshot. Is there any other method to find out what's happening?

By running spyder from within another IDE, setting breakpoints in various places and commenting out code, I found out that it is the matplotlib patch which causes the console to crash. Disabling it in the settings solves my problem. I am however still not sure why the console crashes with the patch enabled. When I set the same environment variable in windows command prompt (only that particular env variable), I can still start python without trouble. I have matplotlib version 1.0.0.
