IPython (and indirectly Spyder) uses the ast module in the standard 
library. It looks like the directory you added to PYTHONPATH also has an 
ast module in it, thus causing IPython to use that module instead of the 
module in the standard library. I guess you never had this issue before 
because you did not have an ast.py file in your own code. 

Is it possible to rename your own ast.py? That may the easiest solution.
