Spyder 3.0 comes with several interesting and exciting new features. The most important ones are:

  • Third-party plugins: External developers can now create plugins that extend Spyder in
    novel and interesting ways. For example, we already have plugins for the line-profiler
    and memory-profiler projects, and also a graphical frontend for the conda package
    manager. These plugins can be distributed as pip and/or conda packages for authors
    convenience.
  • Improved projects support: Projects have been revamped and improved significantly in
    Spyder 3.0. With our new projects support, people have the possibility of easily
    working on different coding efforts at the same time. That's because projects save the
    state of open files in the Editor and allow Python packages created as part of the
    project to be imported in our consoles.
  • Support for much more programming languages: Spyder relies now on the excellent Pygments
    library to provide syntax highlight and suggest code completions in the Editor, for all
    programming languages supported by it.
  • A new file switcher: Spyder 3.0 comes with a fancy file switcher, very similar in
    spirit to the one present in Sublime Text. This is a dialog to select among the open
    files in the Editor, by doing a fuzzy search through their names. It also lets users to
    view the list of classes, methods and functions defined in the current file by using the syntax
    @function. The switcher is activated with Ctrl+P.
  • A Numpy array graphical builder: Users who need to create NumPy arrays in Spyder for
    matrices and vectors can do it now in a graphical way by pressing Ctrl+M in the Editor
    or the Consoles. This will open an empty 2D table widget to be filled with the data
    required by the user.
  • A new icon theme based on FontAwesome.
  • A new set of default pane layouts for those coming from Rstudio or Matlab (under
    View > Window layouts).
  • A simpler and more intuitive way to introduce keyboard shortcuts.
  • Support for PyQt5, which fixes problems in MacOS X and in high resolution screens.
