Why doesn't Spyder obey my IPython config file?

Question

This used to work, but now it doesn't, in IPython 4.2.0 and Spyder 2.3.9 from Anaconda. Argh.

If I get the IPython config it looks correct, as though it read the file correctly:

get_ipython().config
Out[1]: 
{'IPCompleter': {'greedy': True},
 'IPKernelApp': {'exec_lines': ['%pylab qt']},
 'InlineBackendConfig': {},
 'InteractiveShell': {'xmode': 'Plain'},
 'InteractiveShellApp': {'exec_lines': ['from __future__ import division',
   'from __future__ import print_function',
   'from __future__ import with_statement',
   'from numpy import set_printoptions',
   'set_printoptions(suppress=True, precision=4)',
   'from sympy import init_printing',
   'init_printing(forecolor="White")'],
  'pylab': 'auto'},
 'StoreMagics': {'autorestore': True},
 'ZMQInteractiveShell': {'autocall': 0, 'banner1': ''}}

So it's supposed to have future division and numpy suppression, but it actually doesn't:

division
Out[1]: _Feature((2, 2, 0, 'alpha', 2), (3, 0, 0, 'alpha', 0), 8192)

4/5
Out[2]: 0

np.get_printoptions()
Out[3]: 
{'edgeitems': 3,
 'formatter': None,
 'infstr': 'inf',
 'linewidth': 75,
 'nanstr': 'nan',
 'precision': 8,
 'suppress': False,
 'threshold': 1000}

eps = np.finfo(float).eps; x = np.arange(4.); x**2 - (x + eps)**2
Out[4]: 
array([ -4.93038066e-32,  -4.44089210e-16,   0.00000000e+00,
         0.00000000e+00])

This is what it should do:

from __future__ import division

division
Out[2]: _Feature((2, 2, 0, 'alpha', 2), (3, 0, 0, 'alpha', 0), 8192)

4/5
Out[3]: 0.8

np.set_printoptions(suppress=True)

eps = np.finfo(float).eps; x = np.arange(4.); x**2 - (x + eps)**2
Out[5]: array([-0., -0.,  0.,  0.])

np.get_printoptions()
Out[6]: 
{'edgeitems': 3,
 'formatter': None,
 'infstr': 'inf',
 'linewidth': 75,
 'nanstr': 'nan',
 'precision': 8,
 'suppress': True,
 'threshold': 1000}

Regular IPython works correctly (C:\Anaconda2\python.exe C:\Anaconda2\cwp.py C:\Anaconda2 "C:/Anaconda2/python.exe" "C:/Anaconda2/Scripts/ipython-script.py")

Jupyter QTConsole works correctly (C:\Anaconda2\pythonw.exe C:\Anaconda2\cwp.py C:\Anaconda2 "C:/Anaconda2/pythonw.exe" "C:/Anaconda2/Scripts/jupyter-qtconsole-script.py")

Answer 1

im not sure what is the problem either I was having the same issue

but mine was fixed when I uninstalled anaconda with EVERYTHING including its python bit granted I saved the settings and profile and stuff

and reinstalled

Hope that helps, if its an option at all
