Please unblock package spyder Since the migration of spyder version 3.1.2 in Stretch, upstream has released a newer bugfix release (3.1.3) which they consider should be the one supported long term [1]. The list of changes are comprehensively recorded in the change log [2] and include a large list of fixes for various crashes and segfaults. Another issue is the broken code completion feature due to the update of jedi from 0.9.x to 0.10.x in the archive. Code completion was working in Jessie and is no longer working in Stretch, so I consider this important for our users. I was able to cherry-pick the upstream fix on top of 3.1.3 [3], but the latter does not apply cleanly on top of 3.1.2. To sum-up, I am requesting your approval for updating spyder to version 3.1.3 by migrating the package currently sitting in experimental to unstable and then Stretch.
