Hey @Roony0708, thanks for reporting. How did you install Python 3.12?

We need to know that to let you know what's the best way to solve this problem.

[Roony0708]

Sure, I understand that. But I'm asking you how you installed it: did you download it from python.org? Or did you use Anaconda/Miniconda instead? Or something else?

[Roony0708]

I installed it directly from python .org, after that I changed the default python of Spyder to python 3.12 interpreter because spyder has 3.8 version then after changing it started showing kernel error and saying to install kernel either through conda or using pip I aslo installed the kernel version which is 2.4.4 but it still showing error I also uninstall python as well as spyder and re install both but same was the situation.

Also another fact is I tried to install pycharm also but in pycharm everything is working fine and the python interpreter 3.12 is also working in it not showing any error then why spyder having kernel problem

[ccordoba12]

I installed it directly from python .org

Ok, and where did you install it? In C:\Program Files or a similar directory?

[Roony0708]

I installed it in C;/ program files And when I am opening my command prompt and typing python it is showing version of 3.12 and I then check pip using pip list there it is showing spyder kernels 2.4.4 then also it is showing kernel error and one more point that I was working fine when I installed spyder for first time all codes was executing with python version 3.12 but then when I opened it another time it started showing kernel error.

Ok, that means that you're affected by issue #20968, which we don't know how to fix yet.

For now the workaround for that problem is to open a terminal as Administrator and run there again

pip install spyder-kernels==2.4.4

Let us know if that works for you.

[Roony0708]

I used this command 'pip install spyder-kernels==2.4.4' several times always it says requirements satisfied,but I found the solution of kernel error I uninstall both spyder and python 3.12 and install Anaconda their i launch spyder there also it was showing same kernel error but then I opened ipython conda terminal and I used 'conda install spyder' and I closed spyder IDE and when I again opened it it worked fine.

I used this command 'pip install spyder-kernels==2.4.4' several times

Then open a terminal as your regular user and run there

pip uninstall spyder-kernels

And after open a new terminal as Admistrator and run again:

pip install spyder-kernels=2.4.4
