I updated my Spyder today to Spyder 5.1, and now it keeps showing me this error message:
Your Python environment or installation doesn't have the spyder‑kernels module or the right version of it installed (>= 2.1.0 and < 2.2.0). Without this module is not possible for Spyder to create a console for you.
You can install it by running in a system terminal:
conda install spyder‑kernels=2.1
or
pip install spyder‑kernels==2.1.*
I already tried both commands, the pip one works but I still get the error message, the conda command does not even work and shows me
The following packages are not available from current channels
Normally I use conda for all packages that are availabel on conda, so maybe someone faced the same issue?
Version 2.1 is only available through Conda Forge at this time. Try
conda install -c conda-forge spyder-kernels=2.1
So far I've had to remove spyder-kernels from any env from any env that has it before I'm able to get it to install on any other env. I'm using conda. It seems I can't have more than one env available for use without constantly swapping where spyder-kernels is installed. This is the case for Windows 10 and MacOS. The spyder docs say to just ignore the issue - and that it was allegedly fixed by now - but I don't know how to ignore an error that makes it impossible to start a python console.
Correction: After erasing all envs and starting over from scratch (zero envs), I am now able to install spyder-kernels on multiple newly-created envs and each one functions in console without an issue.
I accidentally removed all files from "~/Library/Caches" on my mac. After that my conda environments are not working. For example: my previously working code is showing "import error" for numpy, matplotlib, etc. After reinstalling these libraries using either "conda" or "pip" command they are still missing and can not find in conda list. Furthermore, conda update conda or create env commands are hanged on "Solving environment".
Is there any way to solve this problem without reinstalling the anaconda?
I am trying to open Spyder on root and I get the following error message:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'IPython.core.inputtransformer2'
This error has been shown after trying to install a package with pip (and Spyder crashed).
I have even uninstalled Anaconda completely and reinstalled but the problem persists.
I had created a virtual environment where at least I can launch Spyder from here. But on root I just cant.
Any suggestions?
Had the same problem a while ago. You can upgrade IPython using the following command. Hope it resolves your issue.
conda update IPython -n envname
envname is the name of the environment you are trying to work in. Also, you might want to install sudo in the correct environment too if you haven't done already.
conda install -c odsp-test sudo
check all the requirements from the spyder installation page,
https://docs.spyder-ide.org/installation.html
update or install the requirements that are missing. This should work for you.
I have just tried to update my anaconda environment to the latest version and I am now receiving errors. I opened the conda environment as an admin, and the commands issued were:
conda update conda
conda update anaconda
First command finished fine. Second command produced error:
pythonw.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point ?PyWinObject_FromULARGE_INTEGER##YAPEAU_object##AEAT_ULARGE_INTEGER###Z could not be located in the dynamic link library c:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\pythoncom37.dll
I have found a reference to this sort of error that requires me to copy a file libssl-1-1-x64.dll from Anaconda3/Library/bin with the one from Anaconda3/DLLs.
How to Fix Entry Point Not Found while installing libraries in conda environment
However, I do not have that file, in the source location. Is there any commands I can issue to download this file again, or somewhere online I can safely download that one file from?
Got the same error, when updating conda.
However, the file pythoncom37.dll was located in C:\Windows\System32.
Turns out the file was a left-over from a previous update of Python 3.7.5 to Python 3.8,
i.e. not related to the installation of conda itself. My guess is that conda registered with Python 3.7 and then failed to use the dll from an incompatible installation.
Solution: Removed pythoncom37.dll and pywintypes37 from C:\Windows\System32.
I had the same problem while updating tensorflow and other packages using anaconda python3 with sublime text3.
To solve this, I've deleted all the pythoncom37.dll in directory shown from the error window.
Replacing the file from other directory did not work.
Also reinstalling conda, upgrading conda, reinstalling sublimetext3 or tensorflow did not help as well.
Given that there seem to be a lot of answers and some work for for different people with different setups, python versions and circumstances, a quick summary of things to try.
Go to [envpath]\Scripts and run py pywin32_postinstall.py -install to update the pywin32 dependencies
Copy both files found in [anacondaPath]\Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32 to C:\Windows\System32
Install pywin32 with conda instead of pip with conda install pywin32
Force pywin32 to a particular version (e.g. 224 for Python 3.7) pip install --upgrade pywin32==224
Add \Lib\site-packages\pywin32_system32 to your path environment variables
Uninstall pypiwin32 and install pywin32. pip uninstall and pip install pywin32
Download the latest Visual C++ version and restart the computer (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0)
Downgrade to e.g. Python 3.6 if possible for your purposes
If any of those worked, commenting which one in your case may be helpful to understand what works when:)
List item
Sorry all - the clue was in the error message. The entry on how to fix entry point led me in the right direction. but it was the pythoncom37.dll file I needed to copy.
That's what you get for blindly following instructions.
Many thanks.
When I had this error, it did not show a path for the entry point.
I tried reinstalling anaconda and it didn't resolve the issue.
I found the path by doing pip install win32, which stated the path to the library that was was in use. It turned out it was connecting to a corrupt roaming profile version, so renaming the roaming profile folder (to _OLD) resolved the issue.
Had the same problem as on the picture above, solved it using these steps.
removed the file pythoncom37.dll from the environment in question
removed the file C:\tools\Anaconda3\Library\bin\pythoncom37.dll
run conda install --force-reinstall nb_conda_kernels ipykernel
repeat per environment.
Be aware that this will also upgrade all environment packages in the active environment.
I had the same problem. But my virtual environments all worked okay, so I had a workaround:
Create a new virtual environment called 'env_base' with all standard anaconda packages
conda create -n env_base anaconda python=3.7
Activate it
conda activate env_base
Create the kernel
conda install -c anaconda ipykernel
python -m ipykernel install --user --name=env_base
Then use this virtual environment as the base jupyter notebook. You can replace your launch shortcut with the link for this one and it is as good as having the actual Jupyter notebook working with base packages.
It doesn't fix the problem, but it sidesteps it effectively.
I had to download my python version from 3.5 to 3.4 because one of the packages I needed wasn't supported in 3.5. I downgraded the python version using the conda command prompt, and everything worked fine - got my package to install with all its dependencies and no conflicts. But now when I try to open Juypter notebook or Spyder, nothing happens. My IPython works just fine. I'm thinking maybe i have to downgrade Juypter and Spyder, but I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas?
After a day of searching I finally figured it out.
I initially used
conda install python=3.4
Bad idea - ended up having to do a fresh install of anaconda to get spyder and juypter working again.
What ended up working is creating a separate environment.
conda create -n py34 python=3.4 anaconda
activate py34
... then install packages ...
This added spyder(py34), juypter(py34), and all its "py34 brothers and sisters" to my start menu. Using these new shortcuts/environment, I now have access to the packages I need by choosing the appropriate short cut. Yes, my start menu has extra python shortcuts now, but whatever - it works.
Just make sure Make sure you install the packages you're looking for before you close the anaconda console. Perfect for installing theano dependencies mingw and libpython.
