Problems and doubts with Anaconda and Spyder

[snippsat]

Sorry, the option to mark the text as "code" seems still not to be working on this site.

With 200 post you should know that it's [python] and not [code]
Just use the python icon in editor

I'm not sure, but maybe when I created the environment, I shouldn't have put the name between curly brackets (maybe the site meant just the name without the curly brackets). But as I'm so clumsy and naïve, I make assumptions (often wrong) if everything is not clearly specified

Yes,it's best to call something like eg new_env,so know that if it end with _env it's a conda.
Can just delete enviroments and make new ones with eg Python version you want,that's the power of conda.
So if want test out python 3.11 just make enviroment with it,enviroment with conda is stand alone.

conda create --name new_env -c conda-forge spyder python=3.11.1

Tips always work with enviroment activated when install or eg start Spyder.
If work with other ediotrs point to the python.exe in the eviroment.
Eg i use VS Code and it will auto detect eviroment.
