To install spyder I wonder if Anaconda is a possibility.

It also installs a lot of packages that your pupils/peers might be using
but that you might not anticipate.

On a semi-related note, a recent change to the repr broke a lot of
downstream tests. Htlm and latex reprs are probably easier to experiment
with on that sense.

That said. That might just be a doctest issue and not a numpy issue.
