Overview

Spyder is a Python development environment with tons of features:

  • Editor

    Multi-language editor with function/class browser, code analysis features (pyflakes and pylint are currently supported), code completion, horizontal and vertical splitting, and goto definition.

  • Interactive console

    Python or IPython consoles with workspace and debugging support to instantly evaluate the code written in the Editor. It also comes with Matplotlib figures integration.

  • Documentation viewer

    Show documentation for any class or function call made either in the Editor or a Console.

  • Variable explorer

    Explore variables created during the execution of a file. Editing them is also possible with several GUI based editors, like a dictionary and Numpy array ones.

  • Find in files

    Supporting regular expressions and mercurial repositories

  • File explorer

  • History log

Spyder may also be used as a PyQt4/PySide extension library (module spyderlib). For example, the Python interactive shell widget used in Spyder may be embedded in your own PyQt4/PySide application.

Running from source

The fastest way to run Spyder is to get the source code, install PyQt or PySide, and run:

python bootstrap.py

You may want to do this for fixing bugs in Spyder, adding new features, learning how Spyder works or just getting a taste of it.

Installation

This section explains how to install the latest stable release of Spyder. If you prefer testing the development version, please use the bootstrap script (see next section).

The easiest way to install Spyder is:

On Windows:

On Mac OSX:

On GNU/Linux

  • Through your distribution package manager (i.e. apt-get, yum, etc).
  • Using the Anaconda Distribution.
  • Installing from source (see below).

Cross-platform way from source

You can install Spyder from its zip source package named spyder-x.y.z.zip, found here. Then you need to use the standard Python setup.py script:

python setup.py install

Note that setup.py is not able to uninstall previous versions of Python packages: it simply copies files on top of an existing installation. So the best way to install from source is to use the pip package manager:

pip install .

Note the dot (.) at the end of this command. pip can also install Spyder from the Python package index and upgrade an existing installation

pip install --upgrade spyder

For more details on supported platforms, please refer to our installation instructions.

Dependencies

Important note: Most if not all the dependencies listed below come with Python(x,y), WinPython and Anaconda, so you don't need to install them separately when installing one of these Scientific Python distributions.

Build dependencies

When installing Spyder from its source package, the only requirement is to have a Python version greater than 2.6 (Python 3.2 is not supported anymore).

Runtime dependencies

  • Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3 or 3.4
  • PyQt4 4.6+, PySide 1.2.0+ or PyQt5 5.2+ (PyQt4 is recommended)

Recommended modules

  • IPython 3.0+ (enhanced Python interpreter)
  • Rope v0.9.4+ and/or Jedi 0.8 + (editor code completion, calltips and go-to-definition)
  • Pyflakes v0.5.0+ (real-time code analysis)
  • Sphinx v0.6+ (object inspector's rich text mode)
  • Matplotlib v1.0+ (2D/3D plotting)
  • Pandas v0.13.1+ (DataFrame and Series support)
  • Numpy (N-dimensional arrays)
  • Scipy (signal/image processing)

Note: To get IPython in Ubuntu you need to install ipython-qtconsole, on Fedora ipython-gui and on Gentoo ipython with the qt4 USE flag.

Optional modules

  • Pygments v1.6+ (syntax highlighting for all file types it supports).
  • Pylint v0.25+ (static code analysis).
  • Pep8 v0.6+ (style analysis).
  • Psutil v0.3+ (CPU and memory usage on the status bar)
