Automatic error report

[DRHamedMozaffari]

Problem Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Cannot uninstall 'spyder'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall. I got this error during updating Spyder for my environment using pip

Traceback

    plugin = mod.PLUGIN_CLASS(self)
AttributeError: '_ModuleMock' object has no attribute 'PLUGIN_CLASS'

Spyder has wheels for Python 2 and 3, so unless you did

python setup.py install

after decompressing our tarballs, then you shouldn't see that error. By doing

pip install -U spyder

there shouldn't be any problem.

The other error you mention

plugin = mod.PLUGIN_CLASS(self)
AttributeError: '_ModuleMock' object has no attribute 'PLUGIN_CLASS'

is fixed already in Spyder 3.3
