Ipython option not visible in spyder - ipython

I just installed the macports versions of spyder and ipython onto my macbook pro running osx 10.8. There does not seem to be a way to open an ipython console from this version of spyder. That is, there is no mention of ipython in the Interpreters menu, nor in the preferences.
Has someone come across this problem and might know how to fix it? Many thanks.
Adrian

(Spyder dev here) According to this page the latest stable IPython version in MacPorts is 1.0, which is unsupported by Spyder 2.2.3 (our latest stable release).
We are working right now to make it compatible for our next release (i.e. 2.2.4), which will be available in two weeks.

32-bit version of VS Code for Windows 7

I am trying to get a version of VS Code that will run on 32-bit Windows 7.
This page points to the release notes for 1.70 which has a 64-bit download.
This page provides a link to download the Insiders version, for use with 32-bit. But that version doesn't support Windows 7.
Where can I find such a version of VS Code?
The vscodium project still releases builds for many officially unsupported platforms formerly or never supported by vscode.
You can grab a release from here:
https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/releases
Here:
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.70.2/win32/stable (System installer)
https://update.code.visualstudio.com/1.70.2/win32-user/stable (User installer)
Taken from https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_70 and https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/supporting/faq#_previous-release-versions.
Though for some reason these don't work on my computer (Code.exe starts by dies after a bit). Who knows why...
Then there's a video downloading 1.50 and comments saying thank you, so I guess it worked (I didn't try because...) - very old version though. Not sure why 1.70 doesn't work on me, but anyway, according to Microsoft, it's the last one working on Windows 7, and here are the 2 links for its 32-bit Windows version. Hopefully it works for you and anyone else. This is a 2006 Pentium M DDR RAM PC anyway.
Also, there is a ZIP somewhere for 1.70.3, but I only found the 64-bit version.

Enthought Canopy, pip not installing freshest github commit

I'm really perplexed by this behavior:
I am installing a github repo using pip with the Canopy Command Prompt in Enthought Canopy version 1.5.2
When I install a package from github, it clones the file, installs and says everything is up to date and even changes the version number, but the imported package is still the old version
For instance, I change the names of a function from version 7.1.1 to 7.1.2. When I go to install the latest version, pip tells me I have installed version 7.1.2, but the changes are not taking place in the actual install when I import the file in the Canopy Editor, in fact a simple help(package) is showing the old version as still installed. So pip in the Canopy Command Prompt is telling me I am installing the latest version, but when I import that package in the actual Canopy Editor, the older version is installed.
I have restarted my kernel, closed the Enthought program, but neither seem to fix the problem.

Eclipse process sleep on Mac OS X El Capitan beta 3 with JDK 8

I upgraded my system to OS X El Capitan beta 3 and installed JDK 8 downloaded from Oracle. However, other applications that use JDK is run correctly, only Eclipse Mars stuck on the logo. I checked that stats of Eclipse process. It showed that Eclipse process is sleeping.
Is there any methods to make Eclipse run correctly? Thanks for any helpful answer.
This has been reported to Eclipse as high priority bug 472259. Currently there is no solution.
This is mentioned in release notes for OS X El Capitan DP3 [1]
Some versions of Eclipse may hang during use.
See [2] Apple Dev Forums for workaround by reverting back to DP2

This bug its already resolved in Beta 4.
According to reports on https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/8776#30240 the 4th beta release (public beta 2) fixes the problem. I'm having the same issue but I'm not able to upgrade and test it myself since I'm away from my backup drive for the next few days and I'm not upgrading without that restore point. I'll try to update this with more info once I've tried the upgrade myself.
Update: Just upgraded and Eclipse loads without any problems.
there is a makefile that you can use on project to compile and fix this problem.

JRE 1.5 to 1.6 Issue on Macbook Pro

I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and have been trying over the past couple of hours to upgrade to Java 6. In doing this, I hope to change my Eclipse JRE to 1.6 so I can properly sync with my group's repo.
So far, no dice. I've downloaded every update I could find on Apple's website, and checked Java Preferences over and over. Not only is Java 6 not even there, the window that pops up looks nothing like the one detailed on Apple's website or any of the "upgrade to 1.6" tutorials I've found online.
I am now at a bottleneck: is this an Eclipse problem? I don't think so, since my OS X seems to be pooping itself, but I'm fairly sure there are literally no more updates for me to even try and install. Argh.
The newest way to configure runtimes, or JREs, is using Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app. The order defined here controls which version is used by browsers.
The command line utility /usr/libexec/java_home will show the current default version. Well-behaved scripts should be using the result of this command over the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
If you did an upgrade you also might have to manually change your JDK pointer.
cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions
sudo rm -fr CurrentJDK
sudo ln -s 1.6 CurrentJDK
If if you try all this and you still only have a 1.5 install, remember that 1.6 is only supported on hardware that is Intel and x64 compatible. This affects some of the first MacBooks that included an Intel chip.
