Spyder: Spyder 3.0.2 upgrade via pip in Windows 10 not working

[cwhanse]

Attempted to upgrade to Spyder 3.0.2 from 3.0.0 using

pip install --update spyder

pip runs to completion without error, but spyder 3.0.0 continues to launch even after resetting Spyder settings and rebooting.

I successfully upgraded to Spyder 3.0.2 using

conda update qt pyqt
conda update spyder

After resetting Spyder settings and rebooting, Spyder 3.0.2 launches.

python 2.7.10
conda 4.2.0
Spyder 3.0.0 installed by current anaconda2-4.2.0 distribution

Did you use pip within conda?

[cwhanse]

Not sure I understand your question. I use pip from the command line provided by opening the Anaconda Prompt console window. That console runs .../Anaconda2/scripts/activate.bat when it opens.

[ccordoba12]

Please don't mix pip and conda packages. I think you broke your Anaconda installation by doing it.

Please reinstall Anaconda, and update Spyder with

conda update spyder

Hello @ccordoba12 , sir I tried to install pillow using conda and it shows that the packages are already installed

But when I run the import pil command, it is giving an error message.
Also spyder is not allowing to update packages using pip..
Can you please tell me the solution if possible?
