Spyder and python crash immediately when x11 is not installed and you
choose the preferences command.
This seems like a bug. I haven't tested Anaconda on Mac but I'll do as
soon as I get home (I'm on a trip right now).
I am installing xquartz, but what a waste. 164Meg to get a lousy gui
when Spyder itself already uses a very good gui that must already be
installed: QT.
Will either Anaconda (if that is the issue) or Spyder switch to
building the preferences "app" on QT?
This is not a problem with the dmg installer of Spyder. But, as nice
as that is I don't want to use it. It is really nice and installs
perfectly but.... It becomes its own distinct python install and
all of the necessary libraries are duplicated. As a really clean
simple thing that is great but... ...all of the Python library that
is supplied via the application package is totally inaccessible
outside of Spyder itself. That sort of seems to violate how one
expects to use Python.
This is probably the most common misunderstanding with our dmg app: it
comes with a bunch of preinstalled libraries so that people can start to
program with the SciPy stack right away, but it's dead easy to use with
Anaconda's Python or any other one. You just need to
1. Open Anaconda's Python, then run in it:
import sys
sys.executable
2. Open Spyder and go to:
Spyder > Preferences > Console > Advanced Settings > Python Executable
select
Use the following Python interpreter
and finally paste there the result of step 1.
Cheers,
Carlos
No worries. It was easy to use conda to get the latest version of
Spyder installed in the anaconda distro of Python. But, then we have
the preference issue.
It would be nice to be rid of x11. Maybe an ask for 2.3?
Thanks,
Lewis
