Python Version

[Basil Carayannis]

I use Spyder 5.0.3.

While running running some statistics code I noticed that the
statistics.multimode(...) statement gave me an error and when I checked the version

of python my Spyder was using

import sys
print(sys.version),

I've got version 3.7.9

That explained the error. The Python version that Spyder uses MUST me 3.8 or higher.

The question is:

How can I update Spyder 5.0.3 to use a later version of Python?

Hello,

I don't know whether there is a way to upgrade Spyder's python if you are using the stand-alone version. But you can use Anaconda and its Spyder version instead. You can follow these instructions (without the steps for installing sklearn) to either use Spyder for Anaconda or your own version of Python with the stand-alone Spyder.

In the Anaconda Navigator you can update the Python version the tab Environments. There you can search for the 'python' package and update it to any version you like.

Kind regards

You can select another Python interpreter (i.e. environment) under Preferences -> Python Interpreter. This one can be different from the one you run Spyder from.

Cheers,
