Hi Hector,
Please have a bit of patience. Sometimes it takes me a week or more to
answer questions here on the list, because I'm the only dev available
these days.
This is the thing: If you want Spyder to behave as a native Mac app, you
have to use our DMG or create your own app using our create_app.py file,
which can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/source/browse/create_app.py
Mac apps are totally self-contained directories that need a special tree
structure to work and all their required files inside it, so there is
almost no other way around (there are some old threads here on the list
that mention the alternatives, but you'll have to look for them by
yourself).
However there is a much easier option which most people adopt in
practice: use our DMG and change the Python version it uses to the one
they have all their packages installed in. To do it, just start python
in a terminal and run these two commands:
|import sys
sys.executable|
Copy the output of the last command, then open Spyder from our DMG and go to
|Spyder > Preferences > Console > Advanced settings > Python Executable|
Select the option
|Use the following Python interpreter|
and paste there the result of the previous step (note that this option
is only available in Spyder 2.2.3 or newer). Finally just go to:
|Interpreters > Open a Python interpreter|
and then Spyder will use your Python version and could import all your
packages, instead of its internal one. If you have IPython installed in
your Python version, then Spyder could also open IPython consoles for you.
Cheers,
Carlos

Hi,
I just compiled Spyder 2.2.5 for OSX (10.6) and it works smooth.
To open it I have to type 'spyder' on the Terminal and I wanted to
have better integration with the OS so, how can I "convert" it to
an OSX app?
I know there is the downloadable DMG but everything comes packed
(python, numpy and other libs) and I want to use the same python
and libs I use in the system (actually I use homebrew python).
Any idea?
