How to reset Spyder IDE (Python 2.7) graphic user interface? - python

I am trying to reset the interface I have tried to misaligned.
I couldn't find it in settings. I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. No luck.
Can you help me to reset it?
Thanks.

(Spyder-dev here)
We will include a way to reset spyder configuration from within the user interface in the upcoming version (3.0.0).
In the meantime you can reset by opening a terminal window (cmd in windows.. shell in Mac/Linux) and typing
spyder --reset
If that still does not work you can erase the folder .spyder in your user folder
Windows
X:\Users\username\.spyder2\ (or X:\Users\username\.spyder\)
Linux
\home\username\.spyder2\ (or \home\username\.spyder\)

I'm using Spyder 3.1.2
Just go to View → Window Layouts → Reset to Spyder default.

For anyone, who has problem restoring the defaults settings,
Open Terminal and type:
rm -r ~/.spyder

I am using Spyder 2.3.9.
I was able to reset the windows using View->Reset Window Layout.
The original post could be on older version, where this option did not exist!

Tools >> Reset Spyder to Factory Defaults. Tested on Spyder 3.1.4

I found a way arround this problem( works for me )
I had the issue that there were 2 seperated windows(I tried to reset the view but it didnt work) and I couldn´t move one of them.
My way arround it was to drag the non movable window a bit bigger(I tried to change its size) then that window became movable for me and I could drag it into the other to get the default view again.
Maybe it works for somebody aswell, just wanted to share.
(3.2.4)

You only need update your Spyder version using this command on Anaconda Prompt
pip install -U spyder
It's has fixed on my IDE.
If you can't fix delete your Spyder folder (.spyder-py3) in your directory like : C:\Users*Your-User*

Do following steps
View->Reset Window Layout.
Also do not forget to restart the application. It was not worked for me without restart.
I hope it should work for you.
If still this not work you can do Tools->Reset Spyder for factory default.

I'm using Anaconda Navigator and Spyder 3.3.2. Open Anaconda Prompt, then type:
spyder --reset
To open Anaconda Prompt in Windows: Click Start, search or select Anaconda Prompt from the menu.

Spyder iPython console stuck at "Connecting to kernel..."

I am running Anaconda on a Windows 10 machine. When starting Spyder, the iPython console is stuck at "Connecting to kernel...". This appeared after my vacation - before the vacation I downgraded Spyder because the Python input() function was broken in the latest Spyder version. However, the following issue seems to appear no matter of which Spyder version I am using (currently 5.2.2).
On the other hand, if ipython is started from conda prompt it works fine.
I have tried the following suggestions that I found in multiple similar questions here on Stackoverflow, but to no avail:
Completely removing Anaconda and installing latest version.
Downgrading pyzmq to version 16.0.3 (this fails, Solving environment: failed)
Updating pyzmq to latest version
Updating ipykernel to latest version
Running spyder --reset
Any other suggestions?
This is really silly, but it seems like rebooting the computer fixed it.
When I was setting up custom Anaconda environment to use an older Python 3.6, I encountered the same issue.
The following worked for me.
Select Tools Menu > Select Preferences > Select Python Interpreter >
Select radio button 'Use the following Python interpreter:'
Use browsing icon and navigate to folder that points to your Python executable to set the textbox value. If you aren't sure where the python path is located. Then open a Command Prompt window and type 'where python'. Then choose your specific path from the output - copy and paste to the textbox mentioned above.
Click Apply > Click OK
Next
Select Tools menu > Select PYTHONPATH Manager
Remove any/all paths found
Click Close
The above directions resolved my issue. Beforehand I also tried the following functions listed below. It is possible that the following helped to partially resolve it too.
Open Command Prompt window
conda activate myenvironment
conda install spyder-kernels
conda update pyzmq
conda update ipykernel
Close Command Prompt window > Reload Anaconda.Navigator
Select myenvironment > Open Spyder

VS Code Python installation and Python Interpreter not recognized

I am getting this message on the VS Code that "Python is not installed. Please download and install python before using the extension."
There is also no *"Python Interpreter"* to select. When I click on it it shows it empty.
I do have Python and Python extension installed and I do have virtual environments set up in the Anaconda navigator but for some reason, I am not able to use them. I tried many ways like reinstalling the Python, Anaconda, and VS Code and also the Python extension for VS code but it's not solving the issue. What could be the reason?
I have attached a screenshot of the VS Code as well.
Pleae click here to see the screenshot
Thanks for your help.
I tried many methods but none worked. So then I removed this extension "Anaconda Extension Pack by Microsoft" and it solved the issue. So anyone facing the same issue might try uninstalling this extension.
I once faced similar problem and i found out that by default vs code looks for /usr/bin/python however in some cases on linux and mac the path is /usr/bin/python3 or 2 , so you can fix it by declaring python3 as default version .
open terminal and type the following command
sudo apt install python-is-python3
check the installation using -
python --version
it should give the output as 3.x.x
This is interpreter error. you have to click on interpreter error showing bottom right in vs code then you choose installed latest python version.
I reinstalled VS Code as is - not changing existing libraries etc - and now VS Code recognises Python/ paths again. :)
After updating to Windows 11 I think it just needed a refresh.
What did it for me was adding python to the environment variables (Windows).
Find python at "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe"
Copy this path
In the file explorer right click "This PC" and select properties
Click Advanced System Settings in the settings window that will open (blue link on the right)
Select Environment Variable -> New -> Add the copied python path

Conda keep opening this Python Interpreter

I installed Anaconda 3. After Install I reboot the computer but, when I opened Anaconda Navigator, this keep happening, first this CMD window appears Conda.exe
and then this window appears gpython.exe
Before reboot, everything fine, I could open Anaconda Navigator. After reboot, (insert Billy Butcher from the Boys) BOOM, this happen.
This also happens everytime I type "conda" on the command prompt,with the python interpreter (second picture) keep appearing. So pretty much any solution on the internet that told me to use "conda" doesnt help.
Also this happens to every Anaconda Application (Anaconda Prompt, Anaconda Navigator).
I believe that whenever you launch anaconda conda.exe will run, at least it does for me.
Regarding gpython.exe, I could only find the following question referring to it
Django error: Command throws a python window when executing makemigrations command in a Python/Django project
This makes it seem like your anaconda may require a reinstall, I checked my anaconda files and couldn't find a gpython.exe in the path where yours appears, so this may be the case. Hope this helps.

Python jupyter notebook update bug

I've been using Juptyer Notebook for more than a year now with python3 and I recently saw through the Anaconda Navigator that an update to the 5.7.0 version was available. I installed it but the first Notebook that I tried to launch wouldn't work : I run the most simple expressions such as:
test = [1,2,3]
print(len(test))
It keeps buffering and nothing comes out of this. Additionally, when I try to define a function, the font doesn't become green and bold like always.
Then I tried to go back to the older version, and that didn't work too. Now I'm back with the up-to-date version but still doesn't work.
I'm on a Windows machine and I don't know very much about source code or precise things to look for in this case.
Could you please follow the below steps and share the feedback. It seems that new update installed in a different path.
Step 1:- Get an Anaconda command prompt and run jupyter notebook in it, It will probably won't work, but you could get a detail error message saying what's failing.
Step 2:- After your anaconda update, if that's left over from the older version of Anaconda. The shortcut properties might tell you what it's trying to call - there may be a wrong path to Anaconda or something wrong, so you can go to anaconda desktop shortcut, then right click on it and check the properties. And also run the %appdata% command in windows 'Run' and check the installed anaconda app data directory.
Stop 3:- If the shortcut was the issue. You can manually change the "Shortcut target" (in windows) to the following
Eg: C:\Users\'yourusername'\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\Scripts\jupyter-notebook.exe

Python Launcher Mac

On my mac I am trying to make a Python script open by default in the Python Launcher.
I left click on the script and select "open with" and select the Launcher. Every-time I do this Terminal pops up, the Launcher window appears briefly. Then a messages pops up in a window: "Python Launcher can only run certain scripts try another."
Something along those line (the message has stop popping up since the first time I tried it but the script still doesn't run). I tried everything, GUIs, and basic scripts (like print "Hello World"). None work!
I tried doing the same thing on other computer and I get the same problem. What am I doing wrong ?
Does your script use a shebang line:
#!/path/to/executable/python2.6
And does it have execute permissions?
chmod +x path_to_file.py
It should run OK like this.
Assuming you're talking about Anaconda, Launcher is now deprecated, so your approach will have to change anyway. It has been replaced by Navigator.
Make sure you have updated Anaconda within terminal using
conda update conda
Then, you can install Navigator with
conda install anaconda-navigator
You will see a new icon show up that functions much the way Launcher used to. Your script will now have to be tied to it instead of launcher, assuming you figured that out with previous commenters' help.
