I have a similar problem. I installed it. It was there and work. But just now I opened Sypder, and the Notebook no longer shows up.

I tried to reinstall the plugin, but I get the message "All requested packages already installed." But after quitting and starting Spyder several times, the notebook is still not showing up in the panes menus.

@touradnik9 @jimclay75051 It looks like something went wrong when installing the Spyder notebook plugin, but I don't know what. Maybe it helps if I get some more information. Can you please try the following?

Firstly, go to Tools > Preferences > Python interpreter and select the first option: "Default (i.e. the same as Spyder's)". Then open a new console with Consoles > New console (default settings) and give the command import spyder_notebook in the new console. Check that this does not give an error. It is fine if there is a message starting with "No QCoreApplication instance found", as in the picture. If you changed the Python interpreter in the Preferences, then you will probably want to change it back to what you had before.

console-notebook

Secondly, in Spyder, click on the menu item File > Restart in debug mode and then select Verbose. After Spyder has restarted, click on the menu item Tools > Debug log > spyder-debug.log. This will open the debug log file in the editor. In the file, search for "spyder_notebook". This should find a line with "Registering plugin notebook". Are there any error messages around that line? Please copy that line and the first few lines after it. This is what it looks like for me (you may have to scroll the text to the right to see everything):

@jimclay75051 Unfortunately, I can't see your pictures. GitHub does not handle images in emails. Any change that you can put the pictures in a message on the GitHub website?

Sorry about that. Here's those pictures.

@jimclay75051 Like you say, you have the notebook plugin installed but Spyder does not seem to see it. Perhaps you installed the notebook plugin in one environment and Spyder in another.

This happens if you used Spyder's standalone installer, as described in the section Standalone Installers in our installation guide. These standalone installers unfortunately do not work with plugins (yet). I should have said this earlier ... We recommend using one of the conda-based distributions if you want to run Spyder with plugins.

If that does not help, then please do the following:

  1. Open an Anaconda prompt and give the command: conda info --envs. Show the results.
  2. Open Spyder. Open an internal console with View > Panes > Internal Console. In the internal console, give the command import sys; print(sys.executable). Show the result.

The first command gives a list of conda environments and their paths. In your picture, you have the "base" environment activated and the path will be something like C:\Users\jimcl\Anaconda3.

The second command should give the location of the Python interpreter that runs Spyder and hopefully we can use it to find the environment that Spyder is installed in. I don't have a Windows computer at the moment to test, but I think this should print something like C:\Users\jimcl\Anaconda3\bin\python.exe . Everything before "bin" is the path to the environment that Spyder is installed in. If you get a result like C:\Users\jimcl\Anaconda3\envs\blablabla\bin\python.exe then that indicates that Spyder is installed in an environment with name "blablabla", and you need to install the notebook plugin in the same environment.

I found out that when I type Spyder into the search bar, there are 2 options:
Spyder
Spyder (spyder-env)

When the app that is only "Spyder" is loaded, then the notebook option appears under panes. If it is the spyder-env option, then the notebook option does not appear under panes. Any idea how I can have the notebook option appear under the spyder-env option?

Thanks!
Tim

Also, in the notebook, does it have the same assist capability in the editor, like when you use a module and a list of options appear?

Thanks!

@touradnik9 I think that the "Spyder (spyder-env)" option refers to the version of Spyder that is installed in an environment called "spyder-env". The instructions in the section Conda-based distributions in the Spyder installation guide will in fact get you in that situation.

You need to install the spyder-notebook plugin in the spyder-env environment in order to make the notebook pane available in the version of Spyder that you get when you use the "Spyder (spyder-env)" option. You can do this as follows:

  1. Open an Anaconda prompt.
  2. Type conda activate spyder-env. This switches from your default environment (usually called "base") to the "spyder-env" environment.
  3. Type conda install spyder-notebook -c conda-forge. This will install the spyder-notebook plugin in the spyder-env environment.

As an aside, an environment in this setting refers to an independent collection of Python and other packages. The idea is that by using separate environments, installing or upgrading a package in one environment will not interfere with Spyder in a different environment. Search for "conda environment" for more information.

The notebook should have the same assist capability as in the editor. However, the system behind this is quite complicated, it does not always work and I don't really understand it.
