Actually, this happens even when not sleeping, just spurious during idleing. The segfault report is attached.

If you're using Anaconda, its Qt version (5.6.0) is not ready for Sierra, but an update is coming which will fix this.

[lxkain]

I _am_ using anaconda, and thank you for the information.

As ccordoba12 noted, it's the Qt in Anaconda. They now have 5.6.2 up that fixes it with a simple "conda update qt"

[ccordoba12]

@celstark, have you noticed more segfaults after updating to Qt 5.6.2?

@goanpeca has complained about segfaults in his macOS installation for some time now (even with 5.6.2)

Hello, I also have the new macbook pro (Sierra 10.12.2) and found Spyder crashing when my laptop is running for a while (more often when waking the system up from sleep).
Qt is already updated to 5.6.2.
Do you guys have any updates on this issue?
Thanks

I still have the same problem with Qt 5.6.2 in El Capitan.

[celstark]

Mine has been stable.

I have this problem as well, also on macOS Sierra (v10.12.4 at the moment). I am currently using Spyder v3.1.4, with Python v3.5.3 and Qt v5.7.1, but I have experienced this with several of the latest versions of Spyder (not sure if Qt has been updated during this time).

@celstark

conda update qt worked for me.
Was getting a segmentation error before when trying to launch spyder from terminal on OSX.
Nothing at all happened when trying to launch from the conda launcher.
