As I said, it's a two times thing, but if it bothers you so much, we could a command line option to disable those messages completely. Would that be ok?

- greatgoat420 6y agoThat would be nice, my dev environment gets wiped every night, so I see the message everyday. That and the one time I did install Kite, Kite kept bothering me about buying some enterprise plan. I do appreciate the work you do on Spyder though!
- ccordoba12 6y agoGreat! It's too late for us to include it in our next version (4.2.2), but we'll definitely consider it for Spyder 5.0, to be released in April.
- greatgoat420 6y agoYou are amazing, thank you for being so responsive!
- osamagirl69 6y agoAwesome! I also suffer from this -- the public terminals at my university always start from a fresh install and these sort of nags are everywhere. I really wish more software companies would re-think the startup nags all together. It is easy to say that 'oh we only show it once' but honestly who only installs a piece of software once in their life? I have probably clicked through the onboarding for microsofts browsers literally a thousand times now and I don't even work in IT. A typical user probably at least a dozen if not more, per piece of software...
- IgniteTheSun 6y agoThank you for replying to posts on this topic and for all your work on Spyder. The following is simply an FYI, not a complaint - I am very thankful for all that the open source community does on projects like Spyder. I've used Spyder for quick tasks for many years but only use it rarely now due to the string formatting in the console. Just this morning I copied a lot of text from the supplementary data of a paper, pasted it into Spyder, processed it, and output it to a nice tab separated table in the console. In other IDEs, I can copy that output and put it straight into my file and it works perfectly but Spyder now replaces all the tabs with spaces. That might be OK if the output were all numbers but the output has descriptions and then numbers in different columns so I end up having to output to a file instead of the console to get something usable. A minor issue, but it negates the value of a lightweight IDE. In the past I had a lot of issues with unicode in Spyder where the exact same code worked well in command line python and in other IDEs. Because of these types of issues I find that I'm better off just going to my heavyweight IDE instead of Spyder even for simple tasks if I don't want to do them from the command line.
- ccordoba12 6y agoYou're probably using an old version of Spyder because this problem was fixed a long time ago: https://github.com/jupyter/qtconsole/pull/397 https://github.com/jupyter/qtconsole/pull/397
- CDSlice 6y agoI’m not sure if it’s really fair to complain about seeing a two time post install message all the time because you effectively uninstall and reinstall the software everyday, or at the least not without disclosing that your environment isn’t what most people use.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI mean, presumably GP has a reason. Adding a command line option, as seems to be happening, strikes me as a perfectly logical solution.
