• Could not reproduce inside jupyter qtconsole (if console-related)
• Tried basic troubleshooting (if a bug/error)
  • Restarted Spyder
  • Reset preferences with spyder --reset

  • Tried the other applicable steps from the Troubleshooting Guide
• Completed the Problem Description, Steps to Reproduce and Version sections below

Problem Description

spyder keeps showing me this error no matter either I create a new environment or use an old one. this error is not going. I have already checked spyder-kernels it is already installed. Could anyone give me any suggestions?

What steps reproduce the problem?

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

basically, I want to use tensorflow in my program which is installed only in one of the env. and when I tried to switch from the default python interpreter to my env. then spyder gives me this error. A month ago when I tried to switch from one env. to another it did not give me the error that time.

Sorry, the mapping between Spyder and spyder-kernels is here:

@ccordoba12 @steff456

conda remove spyder-kernels

then:

conda install spyder-kernels=1.10.2

And the issue continues…
