I am running Anaconda on a Windows 10 machine. When starting Spyder, the iPython console is stuck at "Connecting to kernel...". This appeared after my vacation - before the vacation I downgraded Spyder because the Python input() function was broken in the latest Spyder version. However, the following issue seems to appear no matter of which Spyder version I am using (currently 5.2.2).
On the other hand, if ipython is started from conda prompt it works fine.
I have tried the following suggestions that I found in multiple similar questions here on Stackoverflow, but to no avail:
- Completely removing Anaconda and installing latest version.
- Downgrading pyzmq to version 16.0.3 (this fails, Solving environment: failed)
- Updating pyzmq to latest version
- Updating ipykernel to latest version
- Running
spyder --reset
Any other suggestions?
