Setup Toga with Spyder

Setup Toga with Spyder
This is an early draft not really ready for anybody but the author.
Goal
Get Toga running ( preferabley with editable source code ) in Spyder and IDE for Python
for Toga see: Toga — Toga 0.3.0.dev10 documentation
This has not been easy, still not working as of July 30: see this page history for other dates.
Unfortunately I tried so many things that some steps and details are lost in the fog of time, here I will try to document the most important steps and results.
After a brief bout with windows, I decided to move to Ubuntu as a virtual machine under my Windows host.
Installed 18.4 then installed Anaconda ( not everything seemed to work ) which did not get me Spyder. So I did a
apt get spyder3
which seemed ok, I can now run Spyder
Try Again ( Attempt 2 )
Set Up Git
git config --global user.name "russ-hensel" git config --global user.email xxx@comcast.net
>>> seemed to run fine
Upgrade Pip
pip3 install --upgrade pip
>>> Successfully installed pip-18.0
On My Git
Forked then git clone
git clone https://github.com/russ-hensel/toga.git
Initial Attempt
This is incomplete, then I seemed to trash spyder, even reinstall did not fix, so starting with a clean virtual machine, and will try to document more of steops.
Also ran
- pip install toga-demo
- pip install --upgrade pip >>>> Successfully installed pip-18.0
- toga-demo >>> demo seemed to run
- pip install --pre toga >>> did not get errors
- from Your first Toga app — Toga 0.3.0.dev10 documentation Created russ@ubuntu-18-base:~/python3/projects/toga_1.py
- python -m toga_1.py
/home/russ/anaconda3/bin/python: Error while finding module specification for 'toga_1.py' (AttributeError: module 'toga_1' has no attribute '__path__') russ@ubuntu-18-base:~/python3/projects$ python toga_1.py
- russ@ubuntu-18-base:~/python3/projects$ python -m toga_1.py >>> does not work _>
/home/russ/anaconda3/bin/python: Error while finding module specification for 'toga_1.py' (AttributeError: module 'toga_1' has no attribute '__path__')
- russ@ubuntu-18-base:~/python3/projects$ python toga_1.py >>> does work but button is a big as window, just a detail?
- inside of spyder toga_1.py does not work, but after much messing around I found that changing the pythonpath in spyder would let it run
