Hi, I am a newbie to python and spyder... I have made a fresh system-wide install of Anaconda on my windows 7 pc and everything seems to work fine except for Spyder, which won't launch at all. Checking the command prompt, I see that there is an issue with non-ascii characters on a path. I am assuming that this is due to my Windows 7 username/account contains an "á". I have looked through the previous posts and I read that this should not be a problem in the current Spyder release... Could someone advise me on what to do?
Here is what I get when I type spyder in the command prompt: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] > Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
