I have contacted Arnaud Fontaine, who's the current package maintainer
for rope, to ask for an update on this. I'll report when he responds.
Until he does, rope remains a pending issue for spyder in Python 3.

It's possible to run Spyder, but I don't think everything is ready for
it yet. Specifically, I can install (with "python setup.py install") and
run Spyder after I installed the following packages from Debian unstable:

python3 3.5.1-4
python3-docutils0.12+dfsg-1
python3-jinja2  2.8-1
python3-pickleshare 0.7.3-1
python3-qt4 4.11.4+dfsg-2
python3-qtawesome   0.3.3-3
python3-qtpy1.1.1-1
python3-sphinx  1.4.5-1
python3-zmq 15.2.0-1

However, Spyder complains of missing dependencies and while the basic
functionality is there, not all features work correctly. Some of them
can be installed from unstable:

python3-jedi0.9.0-1
python3-pep81.7.0-2
python3-psutil  4.2.0-1
python3-pyflakes1.2.3-1


Thanks Jitse for this listing. This is very helpful.


Spyder has three further dependencies that need more work:

* rope >= 0.9.4: There is a package python-rope version 0.10.2-1 but
  no Python3 version.

* qtconsole >= 4.2.0: Experimental has jupyter-qtconsole.

* nbconvert >= 4.0: As far as I can see, there is no nbconvert but
  there is an Intend-To-Package message at bug 801058.


As you can see here:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2015/09/msg00087.html

nbconvert is further along in the dependency chain, hence yourself not
finding an RFS for it yet. I believe Julien is working on it. Meanwhile
other dependencies like ipython and the jupyter core packages will have
to find their way to the archive (first via a trip to experimental)
first, before nbconvert is made available.

Regarding rope, the package has a wishlist bug for Python 3 and also a
CVE (which is bad). It might be worth checking with the package 
maintainer whether he still actively maintains it, and propose a

migration to the DPMT Git. I'll contact him and propose my help.

Cheers,
Ghis

If it's the case as it appears to be that the usual caretakers of this
package don't have time for it anymore, you may want to join Debian
Science and take over maintaining the package here. I could help you get
started with Debian packaging if you're interested.


Thanks for the offer. I was hoping for something less time consuming :)
but I will look into packaging Spyder for Debian if that's what it takes.


Spyder is already packaged for Debian FYI.


I believe Ghislain Vaillant (copied in) was thinking at some point to
work on updating the Spyder package, so I'll wait a few days to give him
and Pippa a chance to reply in order to avoid any duplicated effort.


The reason of the stalling of the packaging arises from the removal of
QtWebkit from Qt4 in Debian. Upstream advised against butchering the
packaged version of Spyder 2.x to run without QtWebkit, and instead
focus on Spyder 3.x.

However, Spyder 3.x introduces quite a lot of new dependencies that
needed to be packaged first. And that is Picca, myself, Julien Puydt
and others have been doing since.

If you want to be helpful, please consider reviewing whether the
current state of Debian unstable and check whether it contains all the
necessary dependencies for the packaging of Spyder 3.x to happen.

Cheers,
Ghis

Hi, Jitse,

[Cc'ing Picca, who is listed as an uploader of the package and made the
last update in Unstable]

I have recently become a developer with Spyder and I would dearly like 
to have Spyder back into Debian. Is there anything I can do to help?

The last release of Spyder, 3.0.0 beta4, seems to be quite stable and is 
probably close to the real 3.0.0 release so this would be a good version 
to target.

Could you package the master branch, which works pretty well out of the
box with Debian unstable?
This would make this package usable again.

Bug#826042: Spyder crashes on start

[Martin Manns]

Package: spyder
Version: 2.3.8+dfsg1-1
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,

After updating Debian testing, Spyder crashes on start.
I would expect Spyder to start normally as before the update.

It seems that the dependency PyQt4.QTWebKit has been removed from
unstable, which beaks Spyder. I get the following messages:

$ spyder
