Spyder is a free, open-source (MIT license) interactive development environment for the Python language with advanced editing, interactive testing, debugging and introspection features. It was designed to provide MATLAB-like features (integrated help, interactive console, variable explorer with GUI-based editors for NumPy arrays and Pandas dataframes), it is strongly oriented towards scientific computing and software development.
