I'm using Spyder3.1.2 IDE with Python 3.5 in Windows 10 and would like to know how to choose whether to show my plots in the iPython console or in a separate window. I found this other question but I get an error when I type %matplotlib qt (No module named PyQt4). I have also changed the preferences to show graphics "automatically" instead of "inline", but I'm still getting them inline.

What I want to end up with is a for loop where on every iteration I add a new point to my graph, which is visible immediately and is shown in a separate window to the console.

Many thanks for your time

You can run your script in a new python console every time you run it.
For that press F6 or go to Run/Configure... and select "Execute in a new dedicated Python console.

enter image description here

Since this python console will not be an IPython console, there is no need to perform any other settings. The plot should show up in a window upon plt.show().
