'import sitecustomize' failed; use -v for traceback #1310

I use Python 2.7 with IPython 0.13.1 and I just installed spyder-2.1.13.1.win32.

When I try to launch IPython interpreter I get this:

'import sitecustomize' failed; use -v for traceback

KeyError Traceback (most recent call last) C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\spyderlib\widgets\externalshell\startup.py in () 94 # above (banner has to be shown afterwards) 95 #FIXME: Windows platforms: pylab/GUI loop support is not working ---> 96 ipythonshell.stdin_encoding = os.environ['SPYDER_ENCODING'] 97 del banner2 98 except ImportError:

C:\Python27\lib\os.pyc in getitem(self, key) 421 self.data[key.upper()] = item 422 def getitem(self, key): --> 423 return self.data[key.upper()] 424 try: 425 unsetenv

KeyError: 'SPYDER_ENCODING'

Should I set anything prior trying to run IPython interpreter?

No, setting this environment variable is not required.

Please see issue #771 (especially the last comments). It may be a side effect of the installation process (not Spyder's fault, but we could however take action on this if necessary).
