Please note that reporting bugs from Spyder's help menu ("?" > "Report
issue...") will fill version details for Spyder, Python and Qt in this description for you. Hi Team,
Thanks for Spyder. I have seen this running on a machine fast and reliable. But unfortunately not for me when it comes to code completion. I have installed a fresh Debian Jessie with Spyder 2.3.1 from the standard repositories with aptitude in the normal way. But when I go to Preferences -> Editor -> Code Introspection/Analysis it gives a Warning about missing rope. But rope has also been installed via aptitude install python-rope. According to "dpkg -l python-rope", rope is installed ok, too. I did dpkg-reconfigure for spyder and rope without success. No error messages in the internal console though and no messages in /var/log that would point me to anywhere and in the bug reports here I could also not find anything that would lead me to a solution. This is my first bug report so sorry for not sticking to the process or not delivering enough information. Thanks for your help in advance.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.Preferences -> Editor -> Code Introspection/Analysis always shows Warning about missing rope. 2. 3.

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

Expected output: Code completion in Editor, but nothing happens. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Spyder 2.3.1 on Debian Jessie

Please provide any additional information below

. See above

Are you using Spyder under Python 3 or Python 2? I'd say the most likely answer is Python 3, for which Debian doesn't have a rope package.

To install rope you need to use pip, with this command:

sudo pip3 install rope_py3k

I'm almost sure the error is about the missing rope dependency in Debian/Ubuntu in Python 3.

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to fix, except the recommendation I gave to you :-)

Don't worry, I'm glad the fix worked for you.

I was just reviewing other issues and found yours, so before I forgot about it, I prefered to post a last closing message ;-)
