Problem Description (Suggestion)

In order to open a kernel that uses a different python interpreter (e.g. a different conda environment), we need to go to preferences, change the python interpreter from the default one to another one. Then we can open a new python console with this interpreter for the kernel. We then need to switch back to the default interpreter in the preferences, so that new consoles will be opened with the default interpreter.

I suggest to have an option (in the menu that appears by clicking on the three lines of the top right of the console) to open a new console with a specific interpreter instead of the default, to avoid doing all that was mentioned before.

Ideally, it would be nice to have an option to choose between available conda environments, but I understand this might be quite difficult to ensure for each type of installation. Also ideally, the name of the console could tell to which environment it corresponds.

There seems to be a PR #20421 that implements a menu to start a console with a specific interpreter, but apparently it did not make its way to the main release yet.

(Also I just made my own similar suggestion #22022, not realising that this new issue was posted.)

Can conda environment be incorporated into the "Configuration per file" dialog? So you can say which environment a particular file should be run in, and then it always is?

Hi there, sorry for the late response! Just in case, I would say PR #20421 solves this issue. That work and some improvements on top of that initial implementation have been done/are being done like #22200 and will be part of Spyder 6. If you want to check the funtionality done at #20421 you can install the latest Spyder 6 beta release (see the Spyder GitHub release page at https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases?q=pre-release&expanded=true)

I would say that idea is more closely related with #22022 (quite an interesting idea though :))

@ccordoba12 should we close this as solved by #20421 or maybe use #22200 to close this?

[Miguel-LlamasLanza]

Hi, thank you for your answers. I have not had the time to update and test the new feature mentioned in the issue and PR that you linked. But the solution given seems to address my request, so this issue can probably be closed if it's released already. Thank you.

Closing as solved by #20421 and #22200

Should I file a separate feature request now that the environment stuff has been implemented?

[ccordoba12]

@endolith, do you think issue #22022 doesn't cover your request?

Sorry yes, that sounds like the same thing
