[Mne_analysis] errors with spyder in anaconda after installing mne python

Hi Amie,

One option you could try is what Spyder developers call "the modular installation approach" [1] --- install Spyder into one conda environment, and install MNE-Python into a different environment. Then, when you launch Spyder, change the "Preferences > Python Interpreter > Use the following interpreter" setting to match the python executable in the MNE-Python conda environment. This would look something like:

# download MNE-Python environment file
curl --remote-name https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mne-tools/mne-python/master/environment.yml
# create new environment "mne"
conda env update -n mne --file environment.yml
# create new environment "spyder"
conda create -n spyder python=3 spyder
# activate spyder env & launch Spyder GUI
conda activate spyder
spyder
# now, set the python interpreter as described.
