Crashing right in the beginning

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I simply ran a code which I used to run in older versions of Spyder/Anaconda. I tried commenting whole sections of it, but neverthless it crashes, without error codes or something like this. When I run this same code in CMD it runs flawlessly.

And it’s not only this code, but pretty much every code I have in my codebase. I recently changed computers and had to install Anaconda, which gave me a newer version and this bug.

Libraries used (not important since even when commenting my import lines it still crashes): numpy, pandas, Tkinter, timeit and datetime.

My Tkinter asks for the files (askopenfilenames) and it crashes afterwards, but even when I comment this section it crashes. After I select my files it should prompt an Input to two dates, but even when I comment this section it crashes. So basically it crashes no matter what.

Interesting, re-upgrading to 5.2.2 apparently made it work again. I assumed it wouldn’t work because I had already uninstalled conda and installed again. But now it’s working, so thank you very much for your time!

Could you try again doing conda install spyder=5.2.2 on you base env and provide the conda list output from there?

Also, if the issue keeps raising, could you create a new env using the conda-forge channel? For that you, run from the Anaconda prompt something like:

conda create -n spyder-cf -c conda-forge python=3.9 spyder=5.3.3

Then you can launch Spyder from the created shortcut on the Start menu (you can search for Spyder (spyder-cf) there), or running from an Anaconda prompt:

conda activate spyder-cf
conda spyder

Let us know if that helps!
