I (newb) run Spyder via Anaconda, and I seem to have broken it (perhaps after an Anaconda update).
Aside from my code not running, I get this error when running conda list:
"File ~\anaconda3\Lib\re_parser.py:402 in _escape
raise source.error("incomplete escape %s" % escape, len(escape))
error: incomplete escape \U"
Interestingly, I can run conda list in the Anaconda Prompt just fine.
I've tried downgrading Spyder, completely uninstalling Anaconda and all aspects of Spyder, and I've even created a separate user account on my machine, redownloaded Anaconda, same thing.
I'm perplexed, any thoughts?
