Problems running code in console

[Riley Worthington]

Hello,

I am new to Spyder and Python and am getting an error whenever I try to run my code. The error says "No Python console is currently selected to run (filename).py. Please select or open a new Python console and try again." I have tried closing the console that is open and opening a new one multiple times but it still runs into the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?

What steps are you taking to run the code?

Which console are you working with, Python or IPython ?

What is the setting in Tools --> Preferences --> Run?

I am clicking the "run" button up at the top. I am working with a regular Python console. The preferences are set to "execute in current Python or IPython console"

Hmm.

Aah, I replicated here. I get the same error if the console tab showing
is the one with the IPython Kernel number in it. If you click on either
the Python tab(next to the IPython Kernel one) or the actual IPython tab
it should work.

I only have the Python console tab open (it says Python 1) but it still gives the same error. When I try to open an IPython tab it just says "Connecting to kernel" forever.

Can you work in the console?

What version of Spyder?

What OS and version?

How was Spyder installed?

I tried opening a new Python console over and over like the error message told me to do and on the fourth try it worked. I'm not sure why this happened but thank you for your help! Before, I was not able to work in the console at all, but it was open. I have Spyder 2.3.2 with Python 3.4 on a Mac with OS X Yosemite. I installed Spyder from here: https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/downloads

Well there is something deeper going on here with the system Python.

What happens if you try to start a Python or IPython
interpreter(console) from the command line, outside of Spyder?
