Hi Christoph, Have you tried to explicitly change the location of the external console as follows: Tools > Preferences > Console > Python executable, and locate to your 3ds Max 2015 Python binary
All new external consoles you create will now relate to the one you specified. I think a possible drawback is that now you will only have tab completion etc in the console, but not in the editor. The editor runs in the python environment that is used to execute Python, and that one seems to be disconnected from your 3ds Max Python environment. But maybe Carlos or another dev can confirm this. An alternative approach could be to try to install spyder within the 3ds Max 2015 Python environment...Not exactly sure what the best way of doing that would be though.
