Thank you for your response Rich. I had a newer version of Python on my computer. I found a video on YouTube detailing how to redirect Spyder to the new Python version. This solved the problem I was having. Once again thank you.

This is not a problem with Spyder. It is a problem because you are not referencing the connector from within your Python virtual environment correctly. Did you install the MySQL connector into the Spyder environment where the interpreter lives? >From the Spyder iPython Console type the following commands to see what >"environment" you are running Python in, and the full path to your Python.exe >interpreter file. import sys sys.prefix sys.executable Then start a regular Windows console (or "terminal" if you are on Linux or MacOSX) and type activate base # This will activate your Python "base" environment if you installed Python using Anaconda. conda list # This will show all packages installed in your environment. or "pip list" This will show whether your MySQL / Python Connector is available in your environment.

However I have a problem with the Python installed with Spyder. I am using Python with MySQL. When I run a program with the first line "import mysql.connector" the program fails because it can't find the MySQL/Python connector. I have a previous installation of Python and the program works perfectly with that Python. I tried reinstalling the MySQL/Python Connector, but that made no difference. Is there a way to make Spyder use the Python that works, or get Spyder to see the connector? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "spyder" group.
