Anaconda Python 3.13 incompatible with IBridgePY 3.11

General
1

I am currently attempting to find a clear way to connect IBridgePY with Spyder. Spyder runs on Anaconda Python 3.13 and It wont work with IBridgePY due to the fact that it only is supported up to Anaconda Python 3.11. I have tried changing the Python version in Anaconda Navigator underneath the environments tab, along with trying to find an old file of Anaconda Python 3.11 to attempt to connect it to the environment within Spyder. Nothing I try has worked. If anyone has links to the appropriate Anaconda Distribution file type that runs 3.11 and will allow spyder to work, please share. Thanks to anyone who helps, you are a legend! :slight_smile:

Hi,

You can try the archives of Anaconda Navigator here: Index of /archive

Another alternative could be to create a virtual environment.
Example code below: You can open anaconda prompt and type the following:
conda create -n ibridgepy_env python=3.11

And for activating the environment:

conda activate ibridgepy_env

Then Install Spyder in this environment
conda install spyder

And then Install IBridgePy and other necessary packages

Hope this helps

Yes, I did that last night, but with python 3.8. You may have to install the pandas package afterwards, but after that, you are good to go.
