Secondly, I might try virtual environments in the future, given the experience I'm having now. Best of luck!įirst off, thank you for your insightful response. it must be run before uninstalling the whole shebang. There's a package one needs to install, which cleans up caches, lock files, tarballs, etc. I remember Anaconda being a pain in the ''.join(('a', 's'*2)) while removing it. Given that you also have issues with Navigator it may be a QT related problem, possibly with PySide (Python's QT bindings). You can then Google the reported exception code and module (likely "python38.dll"). Don't get your hopes high but there might be existing resolved bug reports. Search for "Event Viewer" in the Start menu, then select "Windows Logs", then "Application" and look for "Errors" and their description. Run Spyder from an Anaconda prompt, by typing its name, watch it hang. In the future you could experiment with that feature to ward against undesired updates, changes.Īs for your issue, Windows logs might shed some insight. I have a few one is devoted to homework related packages and I'd rather not touch it. We should create isolate "virtual environments" in Anaconda (and "pip") to avoid tinkering with the "base" one. Of course, I believe you know why getting my Spyder to work again would be crucial, especially since I have to work on a few homework recoveries.Īny help would be much appreciated, since I spent all of today trying to fix this.

Also, all of this happened only because I tried to install the pytest library since I couldn't find it anymore in Spyder before opening it today, everything worked (including pytest to run tests directly in Spyder).

One detail that may be important is that Anaconda Prompt and Jupyter seem to work fine (as I mentioned I was able to check for updates and execute other commands in Anaconda Prompt), whereas Spyder and the Anaconda Navigator (which should open a web page to the users' manual of Anaconda) won't open when I try to run them.


uninstalling Anaconda altogether (and manually deleting all related folders that remain after the automatic process) and installing it again. uninstalling Spyder and re-installing it, resetting Spyder and trying the following command for issues with pyqt5: conda install qt=5.6* pyqt=5.6* sip=4.18*,
#Spyder python for mac update#
trying to update Anaconda, Spyder and Jupyter, restarting my laptop / checking for updates, Here's a list of things I have tried (some of them I found on the internet posted by people with the same problem) obviously, none of these worked and the problem still persists: I have this really frustrating problem with Spyder (I'm using Windows) that I can't seem to solve by any means: in short, when I click on the Spyder application (or try to run it in any other way, namely the Anaconda prompt, Win + R, etc.), it doesn't launch (the arrow displays the blue loading circle for a brief moment but then nothing happens).
