I assume that your machine is running on Windows: actually no, you don't need to install Python(x,y) to make Spyder work. Starting from scratch, you would need only to install Python (2.5.x or 2.6.x), PyQt4 (see official website for the Windows installer, or use Python(x,y) plugin) and eventually matplotlib, numpy and scipy to work on scientific projects. That's all. Python(x,y) is very convenient because it provides all Spyder's dependencies and much more (a lot of tools very useful for scientists) but it's not necessary to install it to enjoy Spyder.
