Problem Description
Example first and described below the screenshot
In [1] shows an example when pwd is understood as python variable, not the UNIX command. As the number (1) indicates, this is the very first thing I typed on the console after turning on spyder.
In [2] shows an example when the code is not ending after hitting return key for several times (more than 1 sec interval)
Also, spyder IPython console is sometimes extremely slow (e.g., declaring a variable takes few seconds).
These happen very randomly. Sometimes, I have to reopen spyder and it works fine for a while, but it gets like this again after executing few lines.
I am using OS X 10.14 (Mojave), spyder 3.3.1, Python 3.6.6, and IPython 7.0.1.
None of the above issues appear when I use IPython on terminal.
Also I hadn't experienced these problems when I used OS X 10.13, Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 (until ~1-2 weeks ago). So I am guessing there is something when I use spyder on Mojave..?

I think this is an issue with the latest IPython/ipykernel combo. Please close Spyder, open Terminal.app, run there
conda install ipykernel=4.8.2 ipython=6.5.0
and try again.

I had the exact same issue. Running pip install ipykernel==4.8.2 ipython==6.5.0 solved it.

@jpaasen, are you using Mojave too?

@ccordoba12
Thank you very much for the prompt proper reply.
That solved the problem completely.
It's quite unexpected that the new ipython gives this problem....
Anyway I think the problem is now gone :)
I will not close this issue at the moment as you asked and didn't get the answer yet.

Ok, thanks.
@minrk, do you know what could be happening here?

Yes. The problem started after upgrading to Mojave.

mojave and ipython 7 / ipykernel 5 were released the same week, so I'd guess it's a coincidence on the mac version, and rather a purely ipykernel issue, since there were major changes in how messages are handled. But it's technically possible it's related. Do folks see this only in spyder, or also straight qtconsole?
I've tried setting up a test environment, but haven't been able to reproduce the error yet. I, too, am on Mojave:

I was having similar issues on High Sierra. Running conda install ipykernel=4.8.2 ipython=6.5.0 fixed the issues, so I'd guess @minrk is correct that the issues coinciding with the Mojave release is a coincidence.

Just to provide a bit more of info, I had a working version of Spyder under Mojave, no problems at all.. then updated to a newer version of Spyder 3.2.8. Running conda install ipykernel=4.8.2 ipython=6.5.0 seemed to help

Closing in favor of #2902, where there's more people talking about this problem.
