Probs launching Spyder after (foolish?) pip install (Mac OS)

0

I am in process of exploring IDEs for Python, and wished to try Spyder. Foolishly, I didn't read much documentation, and just went to terminal and ran pip install spyder, even tho I have a Conda install sitting on my machine, which could have taken care of things. After failing to launch spyder from terminal, I searched online for solution, only to see pip install only recommended for people who know what they're doing (I obv don't).

Tried pip uninstall spyder then tried removing and reinstalling using Anaconda Navigator GUI. Attempted launch in Anaconda Navigator. No luck.

I get the following error:

objc[74645]: Class RunLoopModeTracker is implemented in both /Users/Alex/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/PyQt5/Qt/lib/QtCore.framework/Versions/5/QtCore (0x106251270) and /Users/Alex/anaconda3/lib/libQt5Core.5.dylib (0x10e78fa80). One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/Alex/anaconda3/bin/spyder", line 11, in sys.exit(main()) File "/Users/Alex/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spyder/app/start.py", line 186, in main from spyder.app import mainwindow File "/Users/Alex/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/spyder/app/mainwindow.py", line 90, in from qtpy import QtWebEngineWidgets # analysis:ignore File "/Users/Alex/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/qtpy/QtWebEngineWidgets.py", line 22, in from PyQt5.QtWebEngineWidgets import QWebEnginePage ValueError: PyCapsule_GetPointer called with incorrect name

I am a Python noob, moving away from MATLAB (which I have used q extensively).

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers, Alex
