Thanks, Pierre! This worked for me, even more than 2 years since your original posting. I was getting a similar error, "ConfigParser.ParsingError: File contains parsing errors: C:\Users\...\.spyder2\.spyder.ini [line 44]: 'completion/font/'". When I went back and looked at the spyder.ini file, I saw that line 44 was the last line of the file without a "=" or anything completing it. I'm guessing that I probably killed a Python process that was running Spyder before it had a chance to finish writing the .ini file? Anyway, I deleted spyder.ini then restarted Spyder, and everything seemed to be fine.
