This worked for me
Download Spyder from here: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/spyder
Extract the .zip into the downloads folder, make sure you don't have a double root directory
Then open a command prompt as administrator and navigate to the extracted Spyder folder

Code: Select all

cd c:\Users\USERNAME\Downloads\spyder-2.3.9r

Replace USERNAME with your username
Then run setup

Code: Select all

"C:\program files\freecad 0.16\bin\python.exe" setup.py install

The quotes are important.
Then copy the files spyder.bat and spyder
from: C:\Program Files\FreeCAD 0.16\bin\scripts
to: C:\Program Files\FreeCAD 0.16\bin

Start Spyder by running the spyder.bat from the bin folder. You can of course create a shortcut on your desktop.
This should be independent and not interfere with your system installed python/Spyder

Q: can I keep my other Spyder install (called from Anaconda)?

Yes, I believe the two should be independent. But maybe they are sharing a config file or something. I've never used Spyder before, it was an exercise for me to see if it could be plugged into FreeCAD's python environment.

I'll investigate but I don't know.
Can you enter commands directly into the Spyder python console, like import FreeCADGui, in my screenshot?
