Spyder failing to open with anaconda

Product Help
1

I will start with some background to my issue. I had Spyder installed on my mac (which is on Ventura 13.1). I had to install pandas-datareader and, long story short, numpy stopped working for some reason. After a lot of troubleshooting, I decided to uninstall Spyder. I made sure that I deleted everything, except for the framework files.

Today, I installed Anaconda and when I try to open Spyder it says that “python quit unexpectedly” and gives me this application launch error: /opt/anaconda3/bin/pythonw: line 3: 5081 Segmentation fault: 11 /opt/anaconda3/python.app/Contents/MacOS/python “$@”
I have tried some basic troubleshooting like upgrading Spyder and Python.

This is Spyder 5.5.1 and I had Spyder 5.5.5 before uninstalling.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had the same issue, which seems to be widespread. Digging around I found the following post on github from Charles Bouss (cbouss (Charles Bousseau) · GitHub). The solution (updating python) worked for me.

First of all, thank you for this thread. I work at Anaconda and released today an updated version of the python.app package on our main channel. Could you try updating python.app to the latest (conda install python.app ) and verify whether the issue starting spyder is resolved?
