  problem solved. Spyder3 is ok with Qt5.12
  Great!! What was the issue?
  (An error occurred while initiating the kernel)
  What error? This could mean virtually anything, depending on what error is actually reported below.

  in PYTHONPATH place the env route of anaconda3 and the path of python3.6 in preferences / interprete of python /
  This means this was not set up properly to begin with; you should not have to do this hack. Instead, you can change your selected interpreter in the Spyder preferences under
  Python Interpreter > Use the following Python interpreter and setting the path to your desired work environment there.
  basically my problem is that the variable scanner does not show me anything.
  for example I have the code
  import pandas as pd
  fiddy_states = pd.read_html ('')
  print (fiddy_states)
  result:
  [Status Official name [2] ... City with the highest population (2006) [5] Flag
  0 Alabama State of Alabama ... Birmingham NaN
  1 Alaska State of Alaska ... Anchorage NaN
  2 Arizona State of Arizona ............... etc
  but in the variable explorer nothing appears, I checked the filtering options below the gear icon in the upper right corner and it does not work either, it shows nothing.
  fiddy_states = pd.read_html ('')
  This code is not correct. I get a 404 when visiting it.
  test_var = "Foo bar"?

  Also, once you do that, try creating a new, isolated environment for Spyder with
  conda create -n spyder-env python=3.6 source activate spyder-env conda install spyder spyder
  and seeing if the problem persists.

  pip) which has hundreds of bug fixes, new features and enhancements through the interface. Further, its so old that the link to our documentation no longer works, since it got moved to our new site, and I'm not sure the Github reporting or several other features will work either. Also, if you don't switch to Miniconda/Anaconda, we recommend you at least downgrade to 5.9.x versions of PyQt and Qt since we only support the LTS releases (5.12 just came out, and we should offer support for it shortly if not already in 3.3.3). Thanks!

  matplotlib.pyplot.plot([])even in a basic Python interpreter in the same environment); furthermore, in turn it is caused by some misbehaving external program (like Amplitube or GoPro Studio) that dumps copies of the same DLLs Numpy/Matplotlib need in the global
