ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 unable to install Spyder

MarkBinder

I have upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 2.9.2 but I am having trouble installing Spyder and managing my virtual environments.

When I clone a virtual environment it does not appear on the list of environments in ArcGIS Pro; if I add it, close and then re-open ArcGIS Pro it still does not appear on the list.

When a cloned environment does appear on the list and I try to install Spyder it appears to go through the installation but in the end nothing is installed.

How can I get Spyder installed?

Thanks

There seems to be an issue with the default environment when using ArcGIS Pro 2.9. I uninstalled 2.9.2, reinstalled 2.9 and had the same problems.

I uninstalled 2.9, reinstalled 2.8 and the 2.8.6 patch and now I am able to install and use Spyder.

Does ESRI plan to fix this issue with 2.9x? It is extremely annoying and my organization only has access to 2.9x. I've been working with our internal help desk on this but was basically told I have to wait until we are allowed to use Pro 3.x

Has anyone discovered a workaround?

I was having same problem as described above. I axed the problem clone and reinstalled Pro. I was then able to get Spyder to work in my new ArcProg 2.9.1 py3 clone via:

conda install Spyder.

Ah ok, I am able to clone my environment, but then Spyder would install, but not install. I get prompted to accept terms, hit install, but it never finishes, or shows up in installed packages. So a slightly different problem I guess...

I think the other posts explain everything. Basically trying to clone the 2.9.2 Python environment was not working.

MichaelAugust

can you elaborate on what the issue is exactly?

There is always something wrong with the cloned environment every time I make a clone. Is it possible there are problems in the default environment?

I may try reinstalling ArcGIS Pro.

It’s really easy to add Spyder from within ArcGIS Pro once you’ve cloned the environment.

If you must use a clone, then see their instructions on how to connect spyder's editor to the python.exe in Pro's environment

Installation Guide — Spyder 5 documentation (spyder-ide.org)

I usually do a

>>> conda install spyder --no-pin --dry-run

in the base environment. Drop the --dry-run when you get a feel for what will be installed.

You can install a spyder 5.1.5 from the anaconda site. They are exceptionally slow in updating packages

Delete the failed clone.

1) Start up ArcGIS Pro from the start menu by choosing the “Run as Administrator” option;

2) Make sure your antivirus software is turned off.

Make a new clone.

MarkBinder

That explains it.

How do I fix the clone? I tried installing Spyder using command line and it keeps giving me errors that a bunch of packages conflict.

Do I need to uninstall ArcGIS Pro and reinstall it first?

AndyAnderson

It’s not Spyder, it’s the cloning process is failing before you even try to add it.

MarkBinder

I'm not sure if this is related; when I add a cloned environment and click OK I just get a blue bar that keeps going across the bottom of the window.

I'm not sure if my issue is with Spyder or the Python environments.

AndyAnderson

We had a lot of trouble with this, but the particular issue we had, seemingly randomly, is that the installation would hang up on installing notebook extensions. Not sure if this is what you’re seeing. Anyway, things to try:

1) Start up ArcGIS Pro from the start menu by choosing the “Run as Administrator” option;

2) Make sure your antivirus software is turned off.
