Hi. I stumbled on this thread in a bit of serendipity. I have been having 
the same problem as Darrell. I managed to get spyder to find the python3 
binary, but when I try to run I get the error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'runfile' is not defined

What am I missing?

Thanks for your consideration

Steve Chu
