Thank you both for the explanations. Carlos - Thank you. As per your suggestion, I managed to get the standalone Spyder package to connect to an external Python.org distribution, by simply following the same instructions, but using "pip" instead of "conda". Alonso - I appreciate the alternative suggestion you provided. I already had the standalone Spyder package installed, and so was keen to use this, but appreciate that I could install Spyder using "pip" instead. Best wishes, Chris
