How to change the path of Python in Spyder?

ide, path, python, spyder

Solution

Press `CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+P` to open the Preferences window. Within this window, select the `Console` item on the left, then the `Advanced Settings` tab. The path to the Python executable will be right there.

Update:

For later versions please navigate to `Tools -> Preferences -> Python Interpretor`

Additionally, you might also need to follow an additional step to install the "spyder-kernels" library in python for which you have set the path using `pip install spyder-kernels` before restarting Spyder.

Problem

I'm using Debian. I installed Python 3.2.3. The path of Python 3 is /usr/bin/python3. How do I change it in Spyder?
