Using Spyder with PyPy?

[ufechner]

Hello,

is it possible to use Spyder as code editor and execute the code in PyPy?

If yes, how?

You could try to change your interpreter to point to the PyPy one.
Please go to

Tools > Preferences > Console > Advanced Setting > Python executable

and put it there (I guess in Linux it's something like /usr/bin/pypy).

Please let us know how it goes.

Cheers,
Carlos

Well, it kind-of works, but not very well:

1. I need to use a virtual environment, otherwise newly installed modules are not recognized by pypy.
2. Then I have to point the python interpreter to the python executable in this virtual environment,
in my case ~/pypy-env/bin/python .

Now I can execute python scripts in the pypy interpreter. But now the ipython console does not work
any more, because it also tries to use the pypy interpreter, which fails (pyp works for ipython in text
mode, but not with the ipython widget, that is integrated in spyder).

This is inconvenient.

So my feature request: Add the option to run a script in a different interpreter, but this setting should
be valid only for this specific script, and not globally.

I will check if this feature request already exists in the bug tracker.

I created an issue to improve this behaviour:
