How to disable constant popups in Spyder's console

I need to get rid of these constant popups in Spyder. They are so frustrating to me. They constantly get in the way of what I am typing, and I can't see the code. I unchecked everything in Tools-Preferences-Linting.

(Spyder maintainer here) The options in "Completion and linting" only work for the Editor. Since you want to disable those hints for the Console, you need to go to
Tools > Preferences > IPython console > Display
and deactivate the option called Show calltips.

Python - Ipython console in IntelliJ like Spyder

I am expecting Spyder's Ipython console equivalent in IntelliJ or PyCharm where i can get results of data structures used in the code. When i am doing data analysis, i run a snippet of code in console like dataframe or variable to see its contents. I am expecting a similar window of Spyder in IntelliJ

You can start an Ipython instance by selecting View -> Python Console in the menu.
It is also possible to set a breakpoint somewhere in your code and choose Debug instead of Run. In this case you usually see two tabs once the breakpoint is reached. Debugger shows the stack trace and variable viewer.
Console shows the output of your program. To make it interactive you need to click the (unlabeled) button looking like a command prompt which is selected in the following screenshot from the official documentation.
.
If stacktrace, variable explorer or console are missing, you can click the Restore layout button (above the sorting icon in the screenshot). If you want to see console and variable explorer next to one another or in seperate windows you can drag and drop them as you like.

PyDev interactive console integration with Variables view (Debug perspective)

My issue with the interactive console is twofold:
When I set a breakpoint in my python code, the execution pauses as expected at the breakpoint and displays all my variables in the "Variables" view. However, the interactive console is not very interactive anymore. I would like to be able to play around with the variables when execution is still paused at the breakpoint.
Ideally I would like to have this same behaviour if I'm not debugging but just working in the interactive console. Is there a way to couple the interactive console to the "Variables" view of the "Debug" perspective. When I open an interactive console now the variables view remains empty.
I am running a fresh install of Eclipse Juno (4.4.0) with PyDev (3.7.0).

I am using the latest pydev and I find the interactive console is still interactive :-) Note that no encouraging prompt is present at the console (e.g. no ">") but if you type one of the variables you see in the variables window you will get a value.. can manipulate etc.
My terminology might be a bit lose. If you mean by interactive console the full ">" console then it is tricky to get that to work during debugging. There is a pydev variable you can set to link it to the debug session but I find it a hassle still.. you have to explicitly switch to such a console.. given a command.. it then throws you back to the normal debug console (which is the one I was referencing as still sensitive to typing variable names etc).. Perhaps I am doing something wrong though for it to be so awkward. I posted on this a few weeks back but there was no reply. I too would like to do debugging in the full console with no hassle. In particular I would like to be able to use its command history to more efficiently manipulate things.
But regardless you can still debug and look at variables just not with the full feature console easily.
Also be aware there seems to be a bug lately (last few releases) where the variables view stays blank. I find that if I close it and reopen it then the variables appear.
Good luck

PyCharm does not highlight errors

I have a problem with PyCharm v2.7.
it does not show me errors.
I have configured it to show them as here
but nothing.
here a screenshot of what I see (no error displayed)
if I run code analysis it shows the errors marked as INVALID in the window but it does not highlight the code.
any idea?

I had this issue recently on PyCharm 2020.3.3 Community Edition.
What I've found is in the top right corner of the editor there is a Reader Mode button.
If you click it you turn the Reader Mode off and then you can see your errors.
You can re-enable it by clicking the book icon

I found. i've enabled by chance the "power safe mode" that avoid error checking. it can be re-enabled by clicking on the little man on bottom right corner.

In my case, I had some ticks disabled in the Python Inspections menu in Settings > Editor > Inspections > Python. I have ticked everything and applied, and now it is working.
I don't really understand why this happened as the problem arose from one day to another. I had even re-installed the whole PyCharm, trying older versions, and deleted the .pycharm configuration folder from home.

I had the same issue with PyCharm Community Edition, v.2016.3.2. To fix,
go to Preferences... from the PyCharm menu, and open Editor/Colors & Fonts/General
Now go to Errors and Warnings/Error under your current schema.
I also had to set my Project Interpreter under Preferences/Project:<name>/Project Interpreter.
See screenshot.

None of the previous answers worked for me when I ran into this issue, but I was able to fix it by doing a hard reset on my PyCharm settings:
From the main menu, select File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings.
You will lose all your custom settings this way of course, but this was the only thing that worked for me.

I have tried many things, but only Invalidate Caches did the trick, after that I could hover the green arrow (top right side) and change Highlight to All Problems

I needed to "Add content root" under "Project Structure" in Preferences. I had no content root.

Nothing of this worked for me.
My problem was a single warning: "unreachable code" which blocked all errors from being highlighted.
I removed this line of code (+ the warning) and all errors showed up again.

For me, this problem was a symptom of having created the file in the wrong place without realising. Before taking any drastic actions, check your project structure

Interactive console using Pydev in Eclipse?

I'm debugging my Python code in Eclipse using the Pydev plugin. I'm able to open a Pydev console and it gives me two options: "Console for currently active editor" and "Python console". However none of them is useful to inspect current variable status after a breakpoint.
For example, the code stopped at a breakpoint and I want to inspect an "action" variable using the console. However my variables are not available. How can I do things like "dir(action)", etc? (even if it is not using a console).

This feature is documented here:
http://pydev.org/manual_adv_debug_console.html

The console that opens in the debug perspective is in fact interactive, although it took me a while to realize it. You need to hit return twice after typing something and then it gets evaluated.
More info on the Pydev site here: http://pydev.org/manual_adv_debug_console.html

Double click on "action" or any other variable.
ctrl+shift+D
And if you're using watches, I cant imagine better interaction. You are able to see every change.

When I set a break point and hit F11 Eclipse launches the debugger and prompts to open the "Debug Perspective". You can then open the Window-->Show View --> Expressions which opens the expressions view, you can then right click in the Expressions view windows and choose "Add Watch Expression" to add any expression(such as dir)
Conversely I was also able to type in dir(some expression) in the PyDev console and get the same effect.
I'm using PyDev 1.4.6.2788

On a small monitor, you may not realize that the debug interactive console is different from the regular interactive console: it has a second command prompt at the bottom where you type, not at the top like the normal console.
