Spyder 4 Python

Ifyou run into problems, before posting a report, please consult our comprehensive Troubleshooting Guide and search the issue tracker for your error message and problem description, as these methods generally fix or isolate the great majority of install-related complaints.Thanks!

While we offer alternative Spyder installation options for users who desire them, we currently lack the resources to offer individual assistance for problems specific to installing via these alternative distributions.Therefore, we recommend you switch to Anaconda if you encounter installation issues you are unable to solve on your own.

While this installation method is a viable option for experienced users, installing Spyder (and other SciPy stack packages) with pip can lead to a number of tricky issues.While you are welcome to try this on your own, we unfortunately do not have the resources to help you if you do run into problems, except to recommend you use Anaconda instead.

You can install Spyder with the pip package manager, which comes by default with most Python installations.Before installing Spyder itself by this method, you need to acquire the Python programming language.

If you installed Spyder through Anaconda (recommended), WinPython, MacPorts, or your system package manager, update using those same methods.With Anaconda, just run (in Anaconda Prompt if on Windows) conda update anaconda to update the distribution as a whole and conda update spyder to update Spyder specifically.

If you installed Spyder via the advanced/cross-platform method, pip, run pip install --upgrade spyder.This command will also update all Spyder dependencies, so we recommend you use an isolated virtualenv or venv environment to avoid any potential unintended effects on other installed packages.

If you want to try the next Spyder version before it is released, you can!You may want to do this for fixing bugs in Spyder, adding new features, learning how Spyder works or just getting a taste of what the IDE can do.For more information, please see the CONTRIBUTING.md document included with the Spyder source or on Github, and for further detail consult the Spyder development wiki.

The recommended and easiest way to do this is with conda (although experts may prefer pip). In a fresh environment (conda create -n your-name-here -c conda-forge python=3, then activate it), run the following:

(and using the same respective command, replacing 1 with 0, to switch back to the Spyder 3 version), or by clone-ing the spyder-kernels git repository to somewhere on your path and checking out the appropriate branch (0.x or master) corresponding to the version of Spyder (3 or 4) you would like to run, and running the commend pip install -e at the root.For any non-trivial development work, keeping two separate virtual environments (with conda-env or venv) for Spyder 3 and 4 makes this process much quicker and less tedious.

If documentation says run: python spyder --reset it assumes that you're in the directory where spyder script lives. It works both from the source checkout scripts directory (if you'd like to run it without installation) and from whatever directory the installation puts scripts in.

don't worry, it is very easy to reset the spyder. for windows 10 users, you all need to type 'spyder' in 'Cortana' then you can see in apps category something like 'reset spyder setting' just click on that and some black screen will open and your problem will be solved. now you can open your spyder.

I am working with conda virtual environments and if you run python spyder --reset it it will output the same error message. However, unlike stated above, no need to uninstall anaconda or look for any files.

I had a similar problem. I had both two installations of Python27---the Ananaconda distribution and the other. Python27 folders appeared before the Anaconda ones in my search path, although Spyder was executed through the Anaconda executable.

I tried the method about "python -c "from spyderlib.spyder import main; main()" --reset",but it seems that I don't have the spyderlib.spyder.Then,I solve this problem through install another version of spyder(you can find from anaconda if you use it),you can run:

I am new to using python with ArcPro and have had some problems using the Spyder IDE. I could not install the most recent version of Spyder AND the version I could install (5.1.5) has a bunch of glitches. Most importantly, the debugger function does not seem to work. I don't need or want anything with too many bells and whistles, and I'm still learning about how to install packages and work with environments. What suggestions do folks have for a Python IDE that reliably works with ArcPro and doesn't require any complicated maneuvering to ensure compatibility?

However, a "pip" install works to get spyder going with the latest version since it really doesn't care about the arcpy/arcgis issues, you may not have a bug free experience with Pro or its notebook functionality, but that depends on what you do with Pro

Ugh. I am so frustrated. I think I'm ready to just de-install Spyder with ArcPro and reinstall it with Anaconda. Is there a good guide somewhere about how to use Spyder with ArcPro once I get it loaded with anaconda? Everything I'm reading is loaded down with SOOOOO much jargon.

So I've similarly been messing with this this week. I got a fresh install of ArcPro 3.0.1 on my machine and cloned the default env through package manager, activated my clone, restarted Arc, then downloaded spyder 5.1.5 through package manager to my clone env successfully. I open spyder through my clone env / scripts and then spyder opens and I made sure it is also set to my clone env here.

I go to the console and 'import arcpy' but get the attached messages despite seeing that Arcpy is in my clone env and that spyder is set to my clone env. Feeling at a loss with this. Would love to hear input on why arcpy will not work with spyder.

All I did was install SPyder 5.1.5 to my clone with the ArcPro package manager. Then I followed the suggestions in the attached post to create a desktop shortcut as Dan suggests below. It imports arcpy and I can use all those tools fine. There are just issues with some other random things. Here's a link to the instructions I followed: -pro-blog/installing-spyder-ide-for-arcpro/ba-p/901923

Try a shortcut on your desktop. You need to execute the spyder-script.py script using python in your clone. YHou still can't update beyond 5.1.5 because of things pinned and a convoluted dependency path which is being impeded somewhere along the trail.

Spyder 5.2.1 is working now on my windows machine that has Arcpro 3.0.1 installed. I did a slightly different workflow, not sure if will break things down the line but I've tested it out on several of my arcpy dependent py scripts without any issues so far.

You should have used the conda distribution that comes with ArcGIS Pro which is 'pinned' to python 3.6. You probably tried to download anaconda for python 3.7 from the anaconda site which isn't going to be the same as the distribution that came with Pro. A number of packages won't work with that distribution... arcpy is one.

The solution is to completely remove all vestiges of what you have done and install spyder in a clone or in the default esri distribution if you have full administrator rights. Skip python 3.7 for now (I have looked into this BTW)

I use Spyder without Anaconda (I also find Anaconda bulky and it takes control of your system). You can just download Spyder from the Spyder website. Installing packages is simply a matter of doing pip install in the Ipython window which Spyder provides. That is what I would recommend and what I do.

Additionally, there are a number of other Conda distributions besides just Anaconda; I typically recommend Miniforge/Mambaforge, which are lightweight and just come with Conda to start, and are pre-configured to use the Conda-Forge channel which has a much wider selection of up to date packages than the Anaconda default. You can use standalone Spyder with these (recommended, and in fact the above FAQ walks you through that step by step), or you could install Spyder itself with them instead (ideally in its own environment),

Glad I came upon this post. I just downloaded Spyder yesterday. I have IDLE v3.12 already installed. I just pointed Spyder to point to this interpreter along with installing spyder from the command prompt:

Along with giving Spyder access to my previously installed packages, it also updated the editor / interpretor version since the current Spyder installation comes with Python v3.8. Another bonus, which IDLE lacks, is allowing you to automatically stack both the editor and output console, and allowing you to scroll horizontally which greatly eases the development (among many other benefits).

Indeed; with Spyder, you have a ton of options for window customization: a bunch of default presents to emulate different IDEs, the ability to move, resize and dock/undock/pop out the editor, console and all the other panes around however you like, opening multiple editor tabs, panels, windows or even full editors on different screens, and opening as many consoles as you like, even in different environments.

To get Spyder to work with your existing environments, you just need to install a compatible version of the much more lightweight spyder-kernels package, which Spyder will give you the exact conda and pip commands for if you try to start a kernel in an environment with an incompatible version (and in the future, will offer to optionally install it for you automatically).

At the time of downloading Spyder, and not being familiar with any of its intricacies, I just happened to try the pip install command since I had no access to the packages that I had already download from IDLE. Prior to this, I had also tried pointing to the python.exe already installed from IDLE, and it did not work. That is when I thought about the pip install spyder command in the command prompt. Glad it worked, tbh. But, as you stated above, if you can automate this somehow, that would be great.
