Even after looking through numerous topics about this matter, I have been unable to find a solution for my predicament.
I have recently downloaded Anaconda navigator v.1.7.0 from which I can use Spyder v3.2.6 has an IDE. I would like to open .py scripts from file explorer with Spyder has default, but when I go in ‘open with’ and click on spyder.exe in C:\Anaconda\Scripts, all I get is a black console window that closes instantaneously. Can anybody help me out on this matter?
I note that I can drag and drop .py files on the Spyder console directly, but has previously mentioned by other users, this feels a little awkward and cumbersome.
From How to get Spyder to open python scripts (.py files) directly from Widows Explorer, I have tried manipulating the spyder-script.py in regedit but to no avail.
This is a similar issue but doesn’t seem pertinent for the current case: WinPython Cannot run .py files directly (without spyder)
These two threads precisely discuss about what I’m trying to do:
- How to read a .py file after I install Anaconda? But no good answer
- Set Spyder as default Python and there are comments that talk about creating a spyder.dat file, but I have no idea on how to do this and I can’t find any proper documentation on it.
I also took a look at this: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/466 and this https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/971 but I can’t make sense of the exchanges
Could the answer be with the spyder.dat file? Or maybe with something else? That's what I'd like to know.
Cheers
