Adrian, I encourage you to try this yourself - it would save a lot of back and fourth here. I went back and updated each package one at a time to the point where spyder 2.3.0rc -> 2.3.0 was only one NOT upgraded and everything worked as expected. It was upgrading from 2.3.0rc to 2.3.0 as the ONLY package being upgraded so whether or not there's an interaction between 2.3.0 and one of the other packages or it's a bug in 2.3.0 release... I assure you that everything updated as shown _except_ spyder, it all works. When I got from 2.3.0rc to 2.3.0 it breaks.
My conclusion is there is something different in 2.3.0 and 2.3.0rc - and whatever that difference is, it breaks the OSX backend with anaconda. This is easy to reproduce - I have given the steps and I have reproduced it on two separate machines. -Steve On Saturday, September 6, 2014 7:01:17 PM UTC-7, Steve Sell wrote: > > Hello, > > I installed the Anaconda 2.0.1 distribution with python 3.4.1 in it... all > was well and worked as expected.
