IPython - It seems the kernel died unexpectedly. Use 'Restart kernel' to continue using this console.

Upon starting the IPython console repeatedly prints that the Kernel has died

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Everytime I start Spyder (I can’t run any code)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect IPython to function normally

Please provide any additional information below

I have tried to resetting Spyder to default and reinstalling Anaconda, but I get the same error code.

Versions and main components

• Spyder Version: 2.3.8.
• Python Version: 2.7
• Operating system: Windows 7

Thanks for reporting. If you are using Anaconda, please open a terminal (i.e. cmd.exe) and run

conda install pyzmq=14.7.0

and try again to see if that fixes your problem.

If not, please use your package manager (pip or WinPython) to install that version of pyzmq .-)
