Spyder hands with complex numbers in Pandas DataFrame

[jaredjc51]

Description

If my .py file contains a pandas.DataFrame with complex values in it, Spyder will become non-responsive and I have to force quit.
An example of the code is below:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

A = np.array([[1+1j, 2+2j],[3+3j,4+4j]])
df_A = pd.DataFrame(A) # This is the problem
print df_A

This code crashes Spyder on my machine but runs as expected in the command prompt.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Spyder through Anaconda but this problem persists.

Thanks for the help!

This is a duplicate of issue #2654, and it was fixed in Spyder 2.3.7.

This new version will be available in Anaconda in a couple of days :-)

Sorry about that!

Don't worry about it :-) It's just such an annoying bug that people have all the right to open as many bugs as they want about it ;-)
