I have installed WinPython and want to use Spyder. I use pip and virtual environments. I have followed the instructions here modular approach. Everything works just dandy until the very last instruction "Start a new IPython console (in Spyder). All packages installed in your venv environment should be available there.".

It get error Your Python environment or installation doesn't have the spyder‑kernels module or the right version of it installed (>= 1.9.0 and < 1.10.0). Without this module is not possible for Spyder to create a console for you.

But I installed spyder-kernals in my venv, I can literally see them there, I set the path the the python installed in the venv, everything should work, but it doesn't!

Any thoughts?

I asked CAM Gerlach as suggested, and he spotted my error very quickly. The instructions at modular approach are correct except they say pip install spyder-kernels==0.* which I took literally. In fact as per the error message you need to use later versions, so I used pip install spyder-kernels==1.10 and it fixed it.

You may have to ask to "C.A.M. Gerlach" if he has an update on the procedure: Spyder has evolved a bit with Spyder-4.
