To use Spyder with a third-party Python environment you need to install spyder-kernels in the Python environment. Not too sure about using pip, but I think its recommended to use Miniconda (conda) to handle dependencies.

I managed to get seaborn working in Spyder 6 with the following environment:

conda create -n spyder-env -c conda-forge spyder-kernels python seaborn pyarrow sympy openpyxl xlrd xlsxwriter lxml sqlalchemy tabulate pyqt ffmpeg 

I installed pyarrow sympy openpyxl xlrd xlsxwriter lxml sqlalchemy tabulate to help with pandas file formats, pyqt for the pyqt backend for matplotlib and ffmpeg for animations.

Once installed, you can select the conda environment from the dropdown list within the Spyder IDE. Then close and relaunch Spyder.

@idhidro, to complement what @PhilipYip1988 said, you can also read our documentation about how to connect our installers to external Python environments:

http://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/faq.html#using-packages-installer

Let us know if that works for you.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up uninstalling Spyder (stand alone) and reinstalled using Anaconda. Seaborn works fine now. Thanks again.

[ccordoba12]

Ok, thanks for letting us know about it. I'm going this issue then.
