With the latest update of WinPython (3.3.3.0, 32 bit), I moved from Spyder 2.3.0dev6 to 2.3.0beta2. One of the changes is the object inspector is called with a ctrl-I, with options to automatically display, set in 'Preferences.' The inspector seems to work on the console, in both modes, but I'm getting no response to items in the editor. Looking into things a bit, * the editor prefs have a message about the rope module not being installed (therefore a few features won't be available). * "Help/Optional dependencies..." shows pep8, pyflakes, and rope as not installed.
As a longshot (since source on Bitbucket shows separate Py2 and Py3 versions for these 3 packages) I tried downloading the latest packages from PyPi and installing with the WinPython control panel. Spyder no longer lists pep8 and pyflakes as missing (haven't tested functionality!), but installing rope causes Spyder to crash immediately after showing the splash screen. Is there a way to get these installed so Spyder works?
