我在Ubuntu 12.10中创建了一个virtualev（〜/ ENV），使用--system-site-packages选项，我使用pip sphynx和pyzmq安装（安装spyder所必需的）然后spyder本身然后ipython（也尝试颠倒了）。 Spyder在没有Ipython的情况下工作正常，但是当我在安装Ipython之后尝试运行它时，它会产生一个ImportError：
zdk1g12@walrus:~$ source ENV/bin/activate
(ENV)zdk1g12@walrus:~$ spyder
Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named frontend.qt.console.rich_ipython_widget
当我从控制台尝试from spyderlib import spyder时，它会出现同样的错误。但是，如果在下一行（同一个控制台，错误之后），我会这样做：
from IPython.frontend.qt.console.rich_ipython_widget import RichIPythonWidget
......它运作得很好！

Ipython工作正常，也是qtconsole。
