The only ray of hope is that you were right in identifying the cause of the problem since it appears to be PySide, specifically, the lack thereof, as I get different errors like " ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PySide' " or " PythonQtError: No Qt bindings could be found " (if you or anyone else feels that looking at any error code in full would be helpful, just let me know, I didn't include them simply because sometimes an explanation is better than a copy-paste of a bunch of random numbers and letters).Īdditionally, in my deep scouring of the Internet, I actually found a post on this Q2A from 2 years ago and apart from all the things I have already tried, one person said that when they had a similar problem they solved it by uninstalling Anaconda and installing Python (and from there manually installing Spyder and all the other needed libraries from the prompt). I also tried anaconda-clean, with little success. As expected when dealing with obscure errors, in most forums there was no answer, reply or solution provided and most of the people that solved the issue did it with a simple re-installation. What I found out from my search, however, is that it appears that the problem is common to other apps as well, to provide a few examples: one had issues with the game Warframe, a French person had this error on "Farbar Recovery Scan Tool" because of a firewall problem (I already tried whitelisting all Python apps) and finally a guy on a Chinese forum got this error when running Qampp (from what I gathered, it's the Chinese version of Xampp, which, honestly, I had no idea what it was up to now). Regarding your suggestion, I Googled the error code but wasn't very lucky. Secondly, I might try virtual environments in the future, given the experience I'm having now. Best of luck! answered by Silktrader ( 2,550 points)įirst off, thank you for your insightful response. it must be run before uninstalling the whole shebang.
There's a package one needs to install, which cleans up caches, lock files, tarballs, etc. I remember Anaconda being a pain in the ''.join(('a', 's'*2)) while removing it. Given that you also have issues with Navigator it may be a QT related problem, possibly with PySide (Python's QT bindings). You can then Google the reported exception code and module (likely "python38.dll"). Don't get your hopes high but there might be existing resolved bug reports. Search for "Event Viewer" in the Start menu, then select "Windows Logs", then "Application" and look for "Errors" and their description. Run Spyder from an Anaconda prompt, by typing its name, watch it hang.

In the future you could experiment with that feature to ward against undesired updates, changes.Īs for your issue, Windows logs might shed some insight. I have a few one is devoted to homework related packages and I'd rather not touch it. We should create isolate "virtual environments" in Anaconda (and "pip") to avoid tinkering with the "base" one. Of course, I believe you know why getting my Spyder to work again would be crucial, especially since I have to work on a few homework recoveries.Īny help would be much appreciated, since I spent all of today trying to fix this.

Also, all of this happened only because I tried to install the pytest library since I couldn't find it anymore in Spyder before opening it today, everything worked (including pytest to run tests directly in Spyder).
#Install pyqt5 with anaconda manual
One detail that may be important is that Anaconda Prompt and Jupyter seem to work fine (as I mentioned I was able to check for updates and execute other commands in Anaconda Prompt), whereas Spyder and the Anaconda Navigator (which should open a web page to the users' manual of Anaconda) won't open when I try to run them. uninstalling Anaconda altogether (and manually deleting all related folders that remain after the automatic process) and installing it again. uninstalling Spyder and re-installing it, resetting Spyder and trying the following command for issues with pyqt5: conda install qt=5.6* pyqt=5.6* sip=4.18*,
#Install pyqt5 with anaconda update
trying to update Anaconda, Spyder and Jupyter, restarting my laptop / checking for updates, Here's a list of things I have tried (some of them I found on the internet posted by people with the same problem) obviously, none of these worked and the problem still persists: I have this really frustrating problem with Spyder (I'm using Windows) that I can't seem to solve by any means: in short, when I click on the Spyder application (or try to run it in any other way, namely the Anaconda prompt, Win + R, etc.), it doesn't launch (the arrow displays the blue loading circle for a brief moment but then nothing happens).
