By running spyder from within another IDE, setting breakpoints in various places and commenting out code, I found out that it is the matplotlib patch which causes the console to crash. Disabling it in the settings solves my problem. I am however still not sure why the console crashes with the patch enabled. When I set the same environment variable in windows command prompt (only that particular env variable), I can still start python without trouble. I have matplotlib version 1.0.0.
