[python] How to run Spyder in virtual environment?

On Windows:

You can create a shortcut executing

Anaconda3\pythonw.exe Anaconda3\cwp.py Anaconda3\envs\<your_env> Anaconda3\envs\<your env>\pythonw.exe Anaconda3\envs\<your_env>\Scripts\spyder-script.py

However, if you started spyder from your venv inside Anaconda shell, it creates this shortcut for you automatically in the Windows menu. The steps:

  1. install spyder in your venv using the methods mentioned in the other answers here.

  2. (in anaconda:) activate testenv

  3. Look up the windows menu "recently added" or just search for "spyder" in the windows menu, find spyder (testenv) and

  • [add that to taskbar] and / or

  • [look up the file source location] and copy that to your desktop, e.g. from C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Anaconda3 (64-bit), where the spyder links for any of my environments can be found.

Now you can directly start spyder from a shortcut without the need to open anaconda prompt.
