Variable Explorer

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Try to view a pandas dataframe variable in the Variable Explorer, but an error message showed up as "Spyder was unable to retrive the variable from console: error message is: "ModuleNotFoundError(“No module named ‘pandas.core.internals.managers’; ‘pandas.core.internals’ is not a package”)

Operating system: Mac Mojave (10.14.3) Python 3.7 Spyder 3

I’ve searched the github and found the copy to clipboard solution, which didn’t work.

I am having this same issue with pandas 0.24.2 while accessing DataFrame variables from Variable explorer in Spyder 3.3.3 I downgraded pandas to 0.23.4 and it started to work again. I would suggest this issue be reopened.

A, Could Spyder’s error message be expanded from “No module named pandas” to “No module in Spyder’s env named pandas”?

Thanks for the suggestion. @juanis2112 is working on this right now (we came to the same conclusion due to a similar issue reported three or four weeks ago).

B, Make a note in the spyder-kernels wiki page.

Thanks for your help!
