Spyder (formerly Pydee) is an open source cross-platform IDE for scientific programming in the Python language. Spyder integrates NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib and IPython, as well as other open source software.[1][2]

In comparison with other IDEs for scientific development Spyder has a unique set of features - cross-platform, open-source, written in Python and available under non-copyleft license.[3] Spyder is extensible with plugins,[4] includes support for interactive tools for data inspection and embeds Python-specific code quality assurance and introspection instruments, such as Pyflakes, Pylint[5] and Rope. It is available cross-platform through Anaconda, on Windows with WinPython[6] and Python(x,y),[7] on Mac OS through MacPorts, and on major Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Gentoo or Arch Linux.[8][9]

Spyder makes use of Qt either through the binding PyQt or PySide.[10] This flexibility is reached through a small abstraction layer called QtPy.[11]
