How to change the path of Python in Spyder?

I'm using Debian. I installed Python 3.2.3. The path of Python 3 is /usr/bin/python3. How do I change it in Spyder?

Solution

  • Press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+P to open the Preferences window. Within this window, select the Console item on the left, then the Advanced Settings tab. The path to the Python executable will be right there.

    Update:

    For later versions please navigate to Tools -> Preferences -> Python Interpretor

    Additionally, you might also need to follow an additional step to install the "spyder-kernels" library in python for which you have set the path using pip install spyder-kernels before restarting Spyder.
