python 3.6 and Spyder

[jhanly]

I'm a newby, and I have a Mac.  I just update python to python 2.7.13 and python 3 to 3.6.  I installed latest version of Spyder.  When I run Spyder it opens in python 2.7.13.  Shouldn't Spyder open in python 3?  it seems to think I need to download python 3.

I am also brand new to Python and Spyder and use a Mac. I have Python 3.6, and Spyder 3.1.2. I get a message that version 3.1.3 is available, but I am having difficulties with the update. The instructions available assume that the reader is already a programmer, which I'm not. Thanks for your help!

Hi,

If you installed Spyder using Anaconda, you need to open a terminal (Terminal.app) and run this command

    conda update spyder

However, if you used any other method, you need to run this command

    pip install -U spyder


Cheers,
Carlos
