Hi, this is with Spyder 3.3.6 and conda 4.7.10.
I installed conda and created a new environment, into which I installed the Spyder kernels (0.5.1, same as in base environment), as described here: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/wiki/Working-with-packages-and-environments-in-Spyder. Spyder is able to connect to the kernel using the Default Python interpreter, but if I want to use the interpreter of the new environment, I get the following traceback in the ipython console: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", mod_spec) File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\site‑packages\spyder_kernels\console\__main__.py", line 11, in start.main() File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\site‑packages\spyder_kernels\console\start.py", line 306, in main kernel.initialize() File "", line 2, in initialize File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\site‑packages\traitlets\config\application.py", line 87, in catch_config_error return method(app, *args, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\site‑packages\ipykernel\kernelapp.py", line 530, in initialize self.write_connection_file() File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\site‑packages\ipykernel\kernelapp.py", line 227, in write_connection_file iopub_port=self.iopub_port, control_port=self.control_port) File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\site‑packages\jupyter_client\connect.py", line 212, in write_connection_file with secure_write(fname) as f: File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\contextlib.py", line 112, in __enter__ return next(self.gen) File "C:\Users\mheller\Anaconda3\envs\course_dataquest\lib\site‑packages\jupyter_client\connect.py", line 102, in secure_write with os.fdopen(os.open(fname, open_flag, 0o600), mode) as f: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Users\\mheller\\AppData\\Roaming\\jupyter\\runtime\\kernelf207ae251d.json' This is most likely an issue with my computer config, since the approach described works fine on a colleague's machine, but I have no idea where to look. File permissions should be identical on both machines (set by out IT department). I'd be grateful for any hints ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
