EgonHeuson · 2022-04-05T13:15:30Z

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Only when I try to execute an "input()" command, it crashes.
"inputValue = input()"

Hey @EgonHeuson, thanks for reporting. This error is fixed in our latest version (5.3.0).

Since it's still not available in Anaconda, you have two options:

Use our Mac installer, which you can find here.
Create a new environment with conda-forge packages. For that, please close Spyder, open the Anaconda Prompt and run the following commands there:
```
 conda create -n spyder-cf -c conda-forge spyder
 conda activate spyder-cf
 spyder
```

EgonHeuson · 2022-04-06T14:58:21Z

Thank you! That worked. Too bad that the version provided with Anaconda cannot be updated yet. :-)

I have run into the same problem as the OP and taken all the steps recommended above to rectify it. However, when I try to connect Spyder to my base Python environment, I get the error message pictured here:

ccordoba12 · 2022-04-21T16:32:30Z

@pjm07, you need to install spyder-kernels 2.3.0 in your base environment, but that version is still not available in Anaconda.

pjm07 · 2022-04-21T19:47:13Z

@pjm07, you need to install spyder-kernels 2.3.0 in your base environment, but that version is still not available in Anaconda.

In my base environment, I used Anaconda prompt to execute conda config --append channels conda-forge and then conda install spyder-kernels=2.3. After taking a long time to solve the environment, it's been examining for conflicts for the past few hours and is only at 3%. I take it this isn't normal, but I don't know how else to install the right version of spyder-kernels.

ccordoba12 · 2022-04-21T23:04:22Z

You can't mix Conda and Conda-Forge packages, so that's why you can't do that.

ackerman-alex · 2022-05-26T22:23:07Z

@ccordoba12 and/ or @dalthviz I am also having an internal error pop up when I try to use the input() to call a file name.

I uninstalled and reinstalled both anaconda and Spyder with no success.

Hey @ackerman-alex, please download and install our Windows installer, which shouldn't have this error. You can find it here:

ccordoba12 · 2022-05-27T13:08:01Z

You're still using the Spyder version that comes with Anaconda. To avoid that problem you could uninstall Anaconda.

ackerman-alex · 2022-05-27T13:54:50Z

@ccordoba12 uninstalling Anaconda seems to work. I was unaware I could use Spyder as a standalone.

This is probably a stupid question, but will there be any functionality loss using Spyder as a standalone?

Thank you so much for your help. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

ccordoba12 · 2022-05-27T14:32:29Z

This is probably a stupid question, but will there be any functionality loss using Spyder as a standalone?

You can only use the packages that come with it, i.e. Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Scipy and Sympy. If you need to use other packages, you need to follow the instructions in our docs, but replacing all commands that start with conda install by conda install -c conda-forge.

We are aware that's very cumbersome and we're working to improve it, hopefully by the end of the year.

Thank you so much for your help. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to help me out.

No problem. I'm glad to know that you were able to successfully use Spyder again.

NishatTasnimMim · 2022-06-01T16:25:06Z

Since I did this, whenever I open Spyder and try to run my code that ran perfectly fine before hand, I get all kinds of module errors. I'm told that I don't have Pandas as a module, when it is in the right path, and pip installed and updates, I'm told "ImportError: Can't determine version for numexpr", I get 'json_normalize is not in Pandas' when it is, and the fix for that which I was using before it says json_normalize doesn't exist. I have no clue what happened, but would like to take a step backwards. How would I undo the install you wrote?

ghost · 2022-07-10T13:15:06Z

привет @ccordoba12

Привет@EgonHeuson, спасибо за отчет. Эта ошибка исправлена в нашей последней версии (5.3.0).

он по-прежнему недоступен в Anaconda, у вас есть два варианта:
наш установщик для Mac, который вы можете найти здесь .
установить новую среду с пакетами conda-forge. Для этого закройте Spyder, администрацию Anaconda Prompt и подключите туда команду:
 conda create -n spyder-cf -c conda-forge spyder
 conda activate spyder-cf
 spyder

я сделал как вы говорили

он спросит Удалить существующую среду. что мне дальше делать?

ghost · 2022-07-10T13:17:19Z

нуууу.. я пока новичок я не знаю что писать дальше

ghost · 2022-07-10T13:18:26Z

надо сделать видео по решению этого проблема. что бы было проще

ccordoba12 · 2022-07-10T15:54:31Z

@CoveMach, you need to install all libraries you need to use in the new spyder-cf environment. For instance, to use numexpr you need to close Spyder, open the Anaconda Prompt and run there

conda activate spyder-cf
conda install -c conda-forge numexpr

ccordoba12 · 2022-07-10T15:58:54Z

@akash9a, every time you need to start Spyder, you need to open the Anaconda Prompt and run there

conda activate spyder-cf
spyder

That will launch our latest version (i.e. 5.3.1) instead of the one that comes with Anaconda.

ccordoba12 · 2022-07-10T16:01:37Z

@saidkamolsam, вы сказали

он спросит Удалить существующую среду. что мне дальше делать?

Вам больше ничего не нужно делать. С этого момента просто выполняйте следующие команды:

conda activate spyder-cf
spyder

Надеюсь, мои сообщения хорошо переведены на русский язык (я использовал автоматический переводчик).

kmkieva · 2022-07-15T23:08:10Z

I am absolutely new to programming and to Python/Spyder, and I'm having the same issue, Spyder crashes whenever I try to run the input function. I installed the standalone Spyder but I can't get the correct version to run. Can anyone help me?

dalthviz · 2022-07-18T16:51:41Z

Hi @kmkieva if you installed the standalone version you need to run it from the created shortcut (it should be called Spyder if you search in you Start menu on Windows or with spotlight on MacOS). If that doesn't work for you, you can follow the second option described here which is to create a new Python environment to install Spyder from the conda-forge channel. For that you will need to run the following commands from an Anaconda prompt (if you are on Windows) or the terminal (if you are on MacOS):

conda create -n spyder-cf -c conda-forge spyder
conda activate spyder-cf
spyder

The first command creates the new environment, the second command activates the new environment and the last command launches Spyder.

tianyihutt · 2022-07-22T13:26:15Z

I failed when running the first line.

anorreyv · 2022-08-18T15:35:12Z

Hi, I have tried all of the fixes in the above thread and I'm still experiencing the same issues as OP. Are there any other resources I can look into?

dalthviz · 2022-08-18T16:33:43Z

Hi @anorreyv are you not able to create a conda env using the conda-forge channel? Are you sure you are launching the correct version of Spyder (from the spyder-cf env)?

Also, just in case, Spyder 5.2.2 is now available in the anaconda default channel so maybe you can try to update from Spyder 5.1.5 to 5.2.2 with something like:

 conda update anaconda
 conda install spyder=5.2.2

anorreyv · 2022-08-18T17:19:37Z

I did not realize the new version was available. Thank you so much for your response, that fixed it!

chucklu · 2022-09-03T03:07:49Z

@ccordoba12 Thanks for your solution, btw do you know when will Anaconda upgrade Spyder? I wonder if you have communication channel with Anaconda.

ccordoba12 · 2022-09-03T14:46:54Z

They updated recently to version 5.2.2, which also fixes this problem. To update to it you need to run

conda update anaconda
conda install spyder=5.2.2

Alejandro58581 · 2022-09-04T14:22:41Z

Hello I have problems when I try to update spyder using

conda update anaconda
conda install spyder=5.2.2

I already uninstall and install anaconda but the problem is there. I have the same problem with the input instruction and spyder crashed

stmtgm · 2022-09-04T15:15:37Z

@dalthviz 's update lines of code works for me! Thanks!

mertsener1 · 2022-09-15T07:08:25Z

@dalthviz Thank you so much!!

kmoreti · 2022-09-15T09:12:00Z

In order to have spyder upgraded from 5.1.5 to 5.3.3 I updated anaconda, removed spyder, and then installed it again.

conda update anaconda
conda remove spyder
conda install spyder

chucklu · 2022-09-15T09:15:42Z

@kmoreti Maybe anaconda does not support spyder 5.3.3, as it only remind to to upgrade spyder to 5.2.2 . You might test 5.3.3 on anaconda , and give feedback here.

kmoreti · 2022-09-15T09:29:48Z

@chucklu, I received the reminder to upgrade to spyder 5.3.3, that's why I tried that specific version.
Given that the issue described here was fixed at version 5.3.0 (#17616 (comment)), I thought it could be helpful to describe how to get it working.
As I mentioned, I had spyder upgraded successfully with the steps above.

dalthviz · 2022-09-15T17:27:27Z

Hi all, just in case, as @kmoreti mentioned I think Spyder 5.3.3 is now available from the default anaconda channel (https://anaconda.org/anaconda/spyder/files?version=5.3.3)!

However, seems like the conda solver has a rough time when trying to move Spyder to version 5.3.3 (could take a good a mount of time and fail due to conflicts, probably due to the anaconda package missing a new release too) so I guess that's why uninstalling and then installing worked for @kmoreti with the steps mentioned at #17616 (comment)
