Spyder v2.1.13 Release Notes

  • 🐛 Bug fixes

    • Fixed [Issue 1158](../../issues/1158): "pip install spyder" fails on non-Windows platforms due to a bug in pip installation process (missing spyderlib_win_postinstall.py script)
    • 🏁 File Explorer/Windows/Fixed "remove tree" feature: added an error handler in shutil.rmtree to be able to remove a non-empty folder with shutil.rmtree is not working on Windows when it contains read-only files
    • 👀 (See [Issue 1106](../../issues/1106)) Fixed "error: unpack requires a string argument of length 8" related to socket communication between Spyder and the remote Python process
    • Editor:
      • After splitting horizontally or vertically the editor window, filenames were not synchronized when saving a file as another name (see [Issue 1120](../../issues/1120))
      • Fixed error when trying to "Save as..." a file with extension to a file without any extension (see [Issue 1183](../../issues/1183))
      • pep8 code analysis: a new line character was abusively added by Spyder to source code before analyzing it because it's necessary for pyflakes but it's not for pep8! (see [Issue 1123](../../issues/1123))
      • Fixed UnboundLocalError when clicking on "Search/Replace" button if both search pattern and replace pattern fields are empty (see [Issue 1188](../../issues/1188))
    • 👕 Pylint plugin/tree widget: "go to line" was not working when filename contained additionnal dots (see [Issue 1179](../../issues/1179))
    • 🛠 Fixed critical bug when an invalid/unsupported version of pyflakes is installed (see [Issue 1181](../../issues/1181))
    • 👀 Editor/block comments: fixed remaining PyQt API v2 compatibility issues (see [Issue 905](../../issues/905))
    • 👀 Variable explorer: more flexible name fixing algorithm (even if it's not a good practice to use reference names with upper case letters, we do not remove them anymore) -- See [Issue 1169](../../issues/1169)

    Other changes

    • 🏗 Spyder about dialog box: added Python build architecture (32 or 64 bits)
    • 🏗 Find in files: fixed default 'exclude pattern' which was accidently excluding all files starting with 'build' instead of simply excluding 'build' folders as intended
    • 👕 For the sake of consistency, now using single-clicks for activating entries of all tree widgets in Spyder ("Find in files" and "Pylint" are now consistent with the "Outline" explorer) -- See [Issue 1180](../../issues/1180)
