I just ran into an issue. I had an installation of Anaconda from 2016, it was version 4.1. I then downloaded a new version of Anaconda version 5.1. I installed this version on windows 7. I have now 3 versions of Anaconda on my windows machine, one is for Anaconda with python-2 (v4.1 anaconda), and Anaconda v4.1 with python-3. And the new Anaconda v5.1 with Python-3. In the older versions when using Spyder IDE, when the console came up, it would state the python version and the version of Anaconda. Now, in the new version it no longer states the Anconda version, IT now only shows this: 3.6.4 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Jan 16 2018, 10:22:32) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] So the first numbers represents the version of python, the rest says Anaconda but not the version. Is there a way to find out in Spyder IDE which version of Anaconda it is accessing. Hope someone can help. Continue reading...
