title: How to check which Python interpreter Spyder is running on its console?
body: <p><strong>The question:</strong></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43592879/how-to-change-python-version-in-anaconda-spyder">This post</a> explains how to change which Python installation to run in Spyder under <code>Tools &gt; Preferences &gt; Python Interpreter</code>. One of the options is <code>Default (i.e. same as Spyder's)</code>:</p>

  <p>But how do you find out what that is?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Some details:</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to help a colleague run a Python script using a batch file. The script runs just fine from Spyder. But when I'm setting up the batch file, I'm getting the error <code>error importing module Seaborn</code>. So I'm clearly able to run Python (the only python.exe I've found on the system) with the batch setup, but the importing error makes me think that there are more Python installations on the system that I'm not able to detect for some reason, but <strong>is</strong> being used by Spyder since the very same script does not raise the same error when run from Spyder. I'm a bit confused here, so thank you for any suggestions!</p>
