Just updated to spyder 3.3.0 and experience this problem. Whenever spyder opens the issue reporter pops open saying that spyder has encountered an internal problem, clicked on details it showed

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/spyder/app/mainwindow.py", line 1961, in valid_project
    if bool(self.projects.get_active_project_path()):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_active_project_path'

python version python3.5, OS Ubuntu 16.04.4 and spyder installed with pip3 install

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

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

Use our Windows installer, which you can find here.
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 @idk45g you need to follow the steps described at #7397 (comment)

Basicallly, you need to create a new env to have the latest Spyder release installed which prevents the error you are also experiencing. After creating the env you need to be sure to launch the correct Spyder installation. For that you can use the shortcut created for Spyder in the new env (you can search for it from the start menu something like Spyder (spyder-cf))

i fixed it, thank you so much 😃
