🦋 spyder(1) — the girlies' guide to the Scientific Python Development Environment 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to spyder(1), straight outta the General Commands Manual section. this is the whole vibe, let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

spyder — the Scientific Python Development Environment 👑

(yeah that's it, that's the name, it's giving main character energy and it knows it)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

spyder [options] [filenames]

like. options, then filenames. that's the whole summon ritual 🫶

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so Spyder brings you, no cap:

  • a powerful interactive development environment for the Python language, with advanced editing, interactive testing, debugging and introspection features 🔥
  • and a numerical computing environment thanks to the support of IPython (the enhanced interactive Python interpreter) and popular Python libraries like NumPy (linear algebra), SciPy (signal and image processing) or matplotlib (interactive 2D/3D plotting) 🎀

it's simultaneously your code editor and your math bestie. obsessed. 💅

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit 🫶 (the classic "pls explain yourself" move)
  • --new-instance — run a new instance of Spyder, even if the single instance mode has been turned on (which it is by default) ✨
  • --defaults — reset configuration settings to defaults 🌱 (factory reset but make it cute)
  • --reset — remove all configuration files 💀 (not me casually deleting everything... she means it)
  • --optimize — optimize the Spyder bytecode 🚀 (may require administrative privileges, so maybe ask nicely first)
  • -w WORKING_DIRECTORY, --workdir=WORKING_DIRECTORY — set the default working directory 📂 (where Spyder wakes up and calls home)
  • --show-console — do not hide the parent console window (Windows only 🪟) 🙈
  • --multithread — execute the internal console in a separate thread (from the main application thread) 🧵 (parallel queen behavior)
  • --profile — run spyder in profile mode (for internal testing, not related with Python profiling, okay? don't get it twisted) 🔍
  • --window-title=WINDOW_TITLE — show this string in the main window title 🏷️ (name your window, she deserves it)
  • -p OPEN_PROJECT, --project=OPEN_PROJECT — open a Spyder project (a directory with a .spyproject folder) 📁✨

🐛 BUGS 🐛

if you find a bug, pls consider reporting it to the Spyder issue tracker at <https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues> 😭 they literally want to know, fr fr. don't gatekeep the bug bestie.

lowkey reminder: every flag up there is exactly as written. don't freestyle the options, iykyk 💅

and that's a wrap on the spyder(1) page from the General Commands Manual, date and all: consider this your cute lil sign-off 🌸 stay scientific, stay slay, and go open a project with a .spyproject folder in it. periodt 💖🎀🦋
