Spyder Plugin for displaying a virtual terminal (OS independent) inside the main Spyder window. Currently it supports both Unix-like and Windows operating systems.

This plugin allows you to execute flawlessly any bash command inside Spyder, even ncurses applications like nano or vi, or Windows console applications such as powershell.

Since mid November/2017, Anaconda, Inc has stopped funding Spyder development, after doing it for the past 18 months. Because of that, development will focus from now on maintaining Spyder 3 at a much slower pace than before.

If you want to contribute to maintain Spyder, please consider donating at

We appreciate all the help you can provide us and can't thank you enough for supporting the work of Spyder devs and Spyder development.

Visit our CHANGELOG file to know more about our new features and improvements.

Besides a Qt console, spyder-terminal also provides a web-based terminal interface based on Tornado, which allows you to deploy and serve terminals from a Web/Javascript frontend. To deploy only the server, you can execute the following bash script:

cd spyder_terminal/server

# Shell option:

# On Unix systems this can be bash/tcsh/zsh or any Unix shell:
# bash: /usr/bin/env bash

# On Windows systems this might be cmd or powershell:
# cmd: %SystemRoot%\windows\system32\cmd.exe
# powershell: %SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

python main.py --port <PORT> --shell <Path to the terminal backend to execute>

To start contributing to this project, you must have installed the yarn package manager, then you can execute python setup.py install to test your changes on Spyder. We follow PEP8 and PEP257 style guidelines.
