When I open a dataframe in the variables explorer, I get the following error:

Spyder was unable to retrieve the value of this variable from the console.

Hey @jondo, thanks a lot for tracking this problem. That’s really the solution!

In other words, for people having this bug, please update to Pandas 1.3.1 in your environments to get the fix and keep viewing dataframes in our Variable Explorer.

@stumpyd123, you need to be sure that you Pandas 1.4 both in the environment Spyder is installed and any external environment you’re using. Also, you need to note that Pandas 1.4 is not compatible with Python 3.7.
