I just found out about spyder-reports which can both generate the python code and the HTML output from the .mdw file. I installed it with pip, but then I didn't found any way to work with it. I am using spyder 4.1.3 with python 3.6.4, and nothing changed in the interface, opening a .mdw file doesn't seem to propose anything.. How does this plugin work?
Is there any documentation, examples, I could use to figure out how it works?
Unfortunately, no. According to their GitHub issues:
Sorry, this plugin is unmaintained now and it's not compatible with the latest release of Pweave. We'll come back to it after we release Spyder 4.
and
This plugin is unmaintained and not compatible with the latest release of Pweave. To help update it or see the status of that work, visit this link.
Your best bet at this time is to uninstall since the installation downgrades some packages:
pip uninstall spyder-reports
or
conda uninstall spyder-reports
