I can't use my spyder - need help with these errors

[Heitor de Ávila]

I'm experiencing a lot of errors in my Spyder. The variable explorer is not working, and sometimes it is saying that it has problems in the kernel and stuff. 

Does anyone help me with that? I've tried to update that and also uninstall, install again with an older version. 

Idk what to do anymore.

Hi,

Without further info (Spyder version, OS, a way to reproduce the issue being experienced, etc) is quite difficult to give you any help. I would suggest you to give a check to the Troubleshooting Guide available (Troubleshooting) and, if you keep experiencing erros, give a check to the specific section related with Submitting a Report. Let us know if something there helps!

Best regards,

Daniel

Why it’s not showing up

Spyder 6 (latest, Oct 2024+) no longer supports spyder-terminal yet.
The plugin ecosystem is being rewritten, so the old spyder-terminal only works reliably with Spyder 5.x.
If you installed Spyder 6 (from conda-forge or pip), the plugin won’t appear under View > Panes.

Mismatch between Spyder and spyder-terminal versions
The plugin must match the Spyder major version. For example:

Spyder 5.x ↔️ spyder-terminal 1.x

Spyder 6.x ↔️ plugin not yet released

✅ Solutions
Option 1: Use Spyder 5.x with terminal plugin (stable way)
conda create -n spyder5 -c conda-forge python=3.10 spyder=5.4.3 spyder-terminal
conda activate spyder5
spyder


👉 Now, in Spyder 5, you should see View → Panes → Terminal.

Option 2: If you want to stay on Spyder 6 (latest)

As of now, spyder-terminal is not yet compatible with Spyder 6 (the Spyder devs are working on new plugin support).

Workaround: use an external system terminal or Spyder’s built-in IPython console until the new plugin arrives.

Option 3: (Ubuntu only) Use system terminal inside Spyder

Not exactly the same, but you can open a terminal side-by-side with Spyder:

gnome-terminal -- bash


Or even configure Tools → Preferences → Current Working Directory → Execute in system terminal.

🚀 Recommendation

If the terminal pane is essential to your workflow → stick to Spyder 5.4.3 + spyder-terminal for now.
If you want the latest Spyder features → use Spyder 6 but wait for plugin updates
