Do you have other Spyder plugins installed? Like spyder-notebook or spyder-terminal?

[johnwshc]

No -- unless they were in the default anaconda install. Where can I list installed plugins ?

Please run in a terminal (cmd.exe)

spyder --reset

and try again.

@dalthviz, please catch the AttributeError around this line:

https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/blob/3.x/spyder/otherplugins.py#L121

and return None in the except part.
