Package: spyder Version: 2.3.5.2+dfsg1-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate *** * What led up to the situation? I use the Python IDE a lot. I have been using it for several years. One of the very important features of Python IDE is that the IDE seamlessly integrates with ipython. I am new to Debian (only started using it this year 2016). Unfortunately this *.deb package of spyder does not have a functioning ipython console... so the entire IDE IMO is unusable. * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? Install the package. Open spyder. Look in the IDE at the "IPython console" and you will see a dialog stuck in a while loop stating "Connecting to kernel..." The dialog never goes away. let's you run commands. * What was the outcome of this action? The IDE is stuck in an infinite loop. * What outcome did you expect instead? When Spyder IDE is working, you open the IDE and the ipython console displays the ipython console... and allows you to run commands (it doesn't have a dialog box). *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** NOTE: - a quick google shows that others have experienced this issue - my quick google shows that others experienced this issue when there was an older version of zmq installed. my system has libzmq 4.0.5 and python-zmq 15.1.0. thanks. this issue is a real SHOWstopper for me. i might consider reinstalling Debian stable... to get a working version of spyder IDE. -Trevor -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages spyder depends on: ii python 2.7.11-1 ii python-spyderlib 2.3.5.2+dfsg1-1 pn python:any <none> spyder recommends no packages. spyder suggests no packages.
