IPython does not work with brewed or virtualenv Python(s) in MacOSX

[santjaqo]

I am using a brewed 2.7 Python in Yosemite. I installed the new Spyder 2.3.3 version from the github dmg. I cannot use IPython in Spyder when I point to the executable of the brewed Python in Preferences>Console>Advanced Settings>Python executable. The following is the path I am using:

/usr/local/bin/python

Pointing to an activated virtualenv Python executable does not work either. The IPython console does not start. In both cases I receive the following error message instead:

'An error ocurred while starting the kernel'

Could you please help me out to set Spyder to work in my Mac?

If you're using Spyder 3.0, you need to install ipykernel in your virtualenv.
