Trying to run Spyder from Pro Conda prompt

Question

I finally found some time this Saturday to try the new (to me) ArcGIS Pro Python package manager with Pro 1.4.1 to install Spyder and Jupyter. Long time needed upgrade to my toolbox! The Python Package Manager—ArcPy Get Started | ArcGIS Desktop Python and ArcGIS Pro 1.3 : Conda‌ After adding Spyder using the Python package manager, I open the Pro Python command prompt (proenv.bat shortcut) and type "spyder". Spyder launches, but I get a bunch of errors in the internal console, and IPython windows are missing their prompt. I was hoping Conda would take care of needed dependencies, but apparently not: >>> WARNING:traitlets:kernel died: 6.010343790054321 Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages raitlets raitlets.py", line 528, in get value = obj._trait_values[self.name] KeyError: 'banner' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages\qtconsole\base_frontend_mixin.py", line 163, in _dispatch handler(msg)‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ (...)

Oh yeah, also Spyder doesn't seem to launch from its Windows start bar shortcut either. I did the same process with Jupyter, and "jupyter notebook" also opens a web page but no consoles available. Maybe I just need a tutorial that I haven't seen yet. BTW thank you so much David Wynne and the team, this package manager built into Pro (About ArcGIS Pro > Python) is pretty slick. As soon as I can figure out how to get it to work! I'm sure I just need some simple guidance.

the path to the executable is there, I think you missed the folder location.  It is in the same location as when I installed Pro 1.3, so part way down the link

in the  C:\ArcPro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Scripts folder.... then I made the desktop shortcut .... C:\ArcPro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\Scripts\spyder.exe ...  and one for .... C:\ArcPro\bin\Python\Scripts\proenv.bat ... because I could

The Pro install included spyder and its dependencies, so check your install I removed everything and did a clean install. My Pro install (1.4.1) does not include spyder. It's in the "add" list in the Python package manager, but it was not there already (like numpy, scipy etc). What's your install workflow to get spyder there? I am still stuck. When I add spyder, the IPython components do not function and I get error messages. Looking forward to 2.0 which is rumored (according to a DevSummit talk) to have a "reset" that allows you to reset the Python Conda distro to install state without requiring a reinstall. # packages in environment at C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgis ro-py3: # arcgispro 1.4 0 esri colorama 0.3.7 py35_0 defaults cycler 0.10.0 py35_0 defaults freetype 2.6.3 vc14_1 [vc14] esri future 0.15.2 py35_0 defaults libpng 1.6.22 vc14_0 [vc14] defaults matplotlib 1.5.3 np111py35_0e [arcgispro] esri mpmath 0.19 py35_1 defaults msinttypes r26 2 esri netcdf4 1.2.4 py35_0e [arcgispro] esri nose 1.3.7 py35_1 defaults numexpr 2.6.1 np111py35_0e [arcgispro] esri numpy 1.11.2 py35_0e [arcgispro] esri pandas 0.19.0 np111py35_0 defaults pip 8.1.2 py35_0 defaults py 1.4.31 py35_0 defaults pyparsing 2.1.4 py35_0 defaults pypdf2 1.26.0 py_0 esri pytest 2.9.2 py35_0 defaults python 3.5.2 0 defaults python-dateutil 2.5.3 py35_0 defaults pytz 2016.6.1 py35_0 defaults requests 2.11.1 py35_0 defaults scipy 0.18.1 np111py35_0e [arcgispro] esri setuptools 27.2.0 py35_1 defaults six 1.10.0 py35_0 defaults sympy 1.0 py35_0 defaults vs2015_runtime 14.0.25123 0 defaults wheel 0.29.0 py35_0 defaults xlrd 1.0.0 py35_0 defaults xlwt 1.1.2 py35_0 defaults zlib 1.2.8 vc14_3 [vc14] defaults‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

You will have to wait until they upgrade to python 3.6 as shown in my link at the top, you can launch spyder from there... but to continue with old school, I just created a desktop link to open the package manager if I need to run R or access the documentation... sometimes the old ways are the best
