Spyder: cannot import name InteractiveConsole

When trying to open spyder from terminal ubuntu, I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/lemma/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/spyder/app/mainwindow.py", line 3099, in main
mainwindow = run_spyder(app, options, args)

ImportError: cannot import name InteractiveConsole

Not sure what happen but the temporary fix is to always type: spyder --reset, which is inconvenient, especially after setting PYTHONPATH in the spyder console.

UPDATE:
Ok now even spyder --reset cannot open spyder IDE.
I have re-installed everything though...

Do you have a file called code that you are adding through PYTHONPATH?

Ok I have the file named code, not code.py but after changing the folder name to something else, spyder running again normal. THX!!

It’s my problem. I create a python script named 'code'. Now I rename it with 'Code'. There no error!
