Thank you for this. Up to now I've only been writing Python in Jupyter notebooks for my Data Analytics studies and really wanted to break free of Jupyter and get experience on other platforms. This was FABULOUS to give me a taste of what it would be like to work in Spyder and help break down my "fear of the unknown" without having to invest an hour or more to watch a full demo. Really appreciate your help!

These are good tips. I'm new to Spyder and python in general. Did you know you can change the value of variables in the variable explorer? Just double-click the value to change it to anything you want. You can check that it's changed in the console. However, when you run the script again, it will change back.

[@Algovibes]

Using spyder since a long time now and I didn’t know that. Thanks a lot for your valuable comment! You can actually do that with lists as well and append items by hand to that. Nice!

I am actually trying to build a Binance bot using your previous video but not in Jupyter but in Spyder. I figure might as well start using Spyder immediately. Are there any big differences I should be aware of when running the scripts to automate the bot? Would love to see a full video on spider usage and automated bot deployment. Thanks again.

[@DJ-ct6so]

I've been using Spyder for a few months now and it's quickly become my favorite IDE for Python (others I've tried are Jupyter notebooks, the free version of PyCharm, and Python's own IDLE). There are plenty more features not shown in the video like projects handling, the debugger (and the way it's integrated into the variable explorer), its in-built file manager, direct access to the terminal, the code analyzer, configurable hotkeys, the comprehensive functionality built into the editor, and probably a ton of stuff that I either didn't think of or am unaware of. Of course this is just my opinion -- you say tom-AY-to, I say tom-AR-to.

Spyder looks so great and easy to work with. Can you make more videps about Spyder, PLS.

[@Algovibes]

Right now I have not planned on additional Spyder videos but please consider the following as you recently commented you just started with Python. The IDE which you are using is a nice tool and can be helpful but is not that important to learn Python. Try to focus on the basic syntax, find the field you are interested in (e.g. Webdev, Data Science, Analytics,....) and then build some stuff (in the best case something what you are interested in in your private life and not just a project which you are getting suggested). I hope I could help you out with that! Best regards

I just started learning Python/Spyder. I have tried to understand how Spyder works by on-line search. This video is definitely a better one in terms of precise and clear explanation on the basics of Spyder. My Python codes need to import various modules, which I found most difficult to handle. Now I am able to create an environment that includes all required modules in conda navigator and then write the script and run in Spyder. But I need to share the code with others and am wondering if I can use Spyder to create a package(folder) that includes all necessary files so that the other people can run from cmd. I did some on-line search, but did not find much useful information. Is it something you can explain in a few sentences or point to some resources? Thanks.

[@markk4203]

I used Spyder six months ago when I was just starting with Python and had issues with it periodically crashing and then taking forever to boot up again (it takes a long time to boot most of the time, as you mentioned). I also actually did _not_ like the word completion because the pop-ups blocked my view of other things on the screen. Can that be turned off?

[@Algovibes]

I actually like the autocompletion feature but you can turn that off by disabling fallback provider.

[@cybervigilante]

I was using Jupyter Notebook and it kept asking for a password, for which you have to go through hoops. So I fixed that in Configuration. That lasted for three sessions then it wanted a password again. Really annoying so I deleted it. Geez, I'm just doing programming at home. I don't need all this security crap. That should be an Option. Trying Spyder now. It seems pretty good. Although you can't pin it to the windows taskbar for some odd reason.

Migrated from Eclipse to Sypder today, I have multiple environments. Do I need to install Spyder to each environment? In Anaconda Navigator, it seems so.

[@Algovibes]

First of all thanks a lot for watching and your comment. I have never used Eclipse but my guess would be yes as I am using Spyder in various envs as well and had to install it in all of them. Anyhow you can use a shortcut by activating the particular environment in conda by using conda activate env and then install Spyder in this environment. I am doing that in my Anaconda env video so be kindly invited to check that out.
