Spyder plots non responding with the Tkinter backend

Question

plotting under spyder 4 (and also after downgrading with 3) doesn\'t work. I am just doing:

data=[1,2,3]
plt.plot(data)

The output is a non-res

Answer 1

I was using a standalone Python (3.8.3) within Spyder (IPython 7.15.0), but it resolved when I reverted to the conda installation (Python 3.6.8, IPython 7.6.0). I'm not sure that helps though!
