Problem with input() in Spyder 5.1.5 (Anaconda)

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Only when I try to execute an “input()” command, it crashes. “inputValue = input()”

Traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hey @EgonHeuson, thanks for reporting. This error is fixed in our latest version (5.3.0).

Since it’s still not available in Anaconda, you have two options:

1. Use our Mac installer, which you can find here.

2. Create a new environment with conda-forge packages. For that, please close Spyder, open the Anaconda Prompt and run the following commands there:

    conda create -n spyder-cf -c conda-forge spyder
    conda activate spyder-cf
    spyder

Hi @anorreyv are you not able to create a conda env using the conda-forge channel? Are you sure you are launching the correct version of Spyder (from the spyder-cf env)?

Also, just in case, Spyder 5.2.2 is now available in the anaconda default channel so maybe you can try to update from Spyder 5.1.5 to 5.2.2 with something like:

 conda update anaconda
 conda install spyder=5.2.2
