Hi,
I unintentionally modified the default python path to a wrong one in the
Preferences window of Spyder. After restarting it, the following error
message showed up:
I am going to assume you mean the PYTHONSTARTUP setting in the console
preferences. If that is not the case you are going to have to be more
specific.
A Python or IPython Console failed to start!
and the python console was indeed disabled.
When trying to open the Preferences window in order to correct the
python path, I get an error message in the Internal Console:
I am not an advanced user so I do not see how to deal with this issue, I
hope this is the right place to ask such questions.
In your home directory find the .spyder2 directory. Look for the
spyder.ini field. In that file search for:
pythonstartup/default
It is probably set to False. Set to True:
pythonstartup/default = True
Restart Spyder
If that does not work then you have two options:
1) From the command line run spyder --defaults. This resets the
configuration settings to their defaults. This means any other
customizations you have done will also be lost.
2) Uninstall and then reinstall Spyder. Again you will be starting over.
Details: Mac OS 10.6.8, Spyder 2.2.5 (installed from dmg)
Thanks!
Andrey
