Problem Description

I updated my spyder python interpreter to Python 3.10.4. (The one I was using with Visual studio code earlier). Now when I start spyder, I get the error that because spyder kernel is not installed, the console cannot start.

I did execute the pip install spyder-kernels==2.5.* command but apparently the packages are being installed in the directory:

C:\Users\alikhan\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages

And Spyder cannot locate the packages here.

My Python Paths are as follows:

What steps reproduce the problem?

  1. Change the interpreter to a fresh install of Python 3.10
  2. Restart spyder.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the kernel to start in the same way as it is starting in the default python 3.8.

Paste Traceback/Error Below (if applicable)

Hey @StormsHalted, thanks for reporting. This is known issue with custom installations (i.e not Anaconda ones) and to fix it you need to install spyder-kernels as Administrator. In other words, you need to

That should solve your problem, but let us know if it does.

By the way, I'm going to rename your issue because I saw that the validation we have to exclude site-packages directories is not working for Python installations in AppData\Roaming.

Hello @ccordoba12. This works and solves the issue.

ccordoba12 commented 2 months ago

Great! Thanks for letting us know about it.

However, I'm going to reopen this issue to fix a related one we find thanks to the info you posted.
