How to add a Python console in Spyder

After upgrading to Spyder version 3.2.1, I don't find the Python console in Spyder.

It is inconvenient when I plot data interactively though the IPython console. How can I add the Python console to Spyder?

Solution

  • The Python console was completely removed in Spyder 3.2.0 and it's not coming back. For the reasons to do that, please read this GitHub issue.

    If you want to create interactive plots in the IPython console, you need to change your graphics backend to Automatic in

    Menu Tools → Preferences → IPython console → Graphics → Graphics Backend.
