I'm having trouble running Spyder (I'm able to run Ipython). This is the 
error I get on calling spyder from the terminal:

sophiaw$ spyder

Using Python Framework binary, which is currently not supported by 
hashdist...Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/bin/spyder", line 7, in <module>

    from spyderlib.app.start import main

ImportError: No module named spyderlib.app.start



 =========


 I tried updating spyder using pip install --pre -U spyder, and got the 
following error:


Installing collected packages: six, qtpy, qtawesome, pyflakes, pickleshare, 
backports.functools-lru-cache, isort, mccabe, lazy-object-proxy, wrapt, 
astroid, pylint, jedi, psutil, rope, pygments, pep8, pyzmq, docutils, 
sphinx, spyder, decorator, traitlets, setuptools, pexpect, ipython, 
tornado, pytz

  Found existing installation: six 1.6.1

    Uninstalling six-1.6.1:

Exception:

Any suggestions to fix this error?


Thanks,
