  You could consider using our new installers, if you're on Windows or macOS, to avoid that: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases/tag/v4.2.1 https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases/tag/v4.2.1 Then you can connect them to your conda envs, as described here: http://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html#using-existing-environment http://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html#using-existing-e...

    Does the installer work with WinPython? Also, thanks for a great tool!
    • ccordoba12 6y ago
      Sure, it works with any Python installation/environment that has spyder-kernels installed.

        Thanks. So far, pip install --upgrade spyder has worked with no hiccups on WinPython, but it's good to know there's an alternative.

  I'm not much of an Anaconda fan, but installing Spyder as a user package (pip install -U spyder) has always worked out well for me. After an upgrade, all I've ever needed to do was to upgrade to the spyder-kernels in my venv. Spyder is such a great tool and much more useful than Jupyter Notebooks for explorative DS work, imho. Thank a lot for maintaining it, Carlos. I don't mind the kite installer - but I've tried it out and found the completions pretty useless.

    Thanks a lot for your kind words! And I'm glad to know Spyder works smoothly for you with pip (it's not usually the case). Too bad you had a bad experience with Kite, but (as I said several times here), it's completely optional.

  How does it compare to PyCharm?
