Spyder, Python IDE startup code crashing GUI
You may find Spyder's array editor better suited for large arrays than the qt console.
I am using Spyder from the Anaconda scientific package set (3.x) and consistently work with very large arrays. I want to be able to see these arrays in my console window so I use these two commands: 
set_printoptions(linewidth=1000)
to set the maximum characters displayed on a single line to 1000 and:
set_printoptions(threshold='nan') 
to prevent truncation of large arrays. Putting these two lines of code into the startup option as such 
set_printoptions(linewidth=1000),set_printoptions(threshold='nan') 
causes Spyder to hang and crash upon a new session of ipython in the console. Is there a way to run these lines of code without having me type them all the time. Also, the console window only allows me to scroll up to a certain point then stops. This can be a problem when I want to view large arrays. Is there any way to increase the scroll buffer? (Note, I'm very new to Python having just switched over from MATLAB).
