I am new to python and want to use the Spyder IDE with Enthought's academic distribution. I can get Spyder to run but it can't find the packages such as pandas that comes with the Enthought distribution. I can import pandas when I run python from the shell outside of Spyder. I am using Enthought EPD 7.3 64bit on OSX 10.7.5 and any assistance would be appreciated.

Spyder dev here: Which Spyder version are you running? Our native app or a version installed with pip or easy_install?
- Carlos Cordoba
Native app 2.2.0 downloaded from the website a few days ago.

Do you have any other version of Python installed, except the one that came with the EPD?
- Thorsten Kranz
Ok, thanks. I can now give a proper answer.

I cannot run pygraphviz from inside Spyder (ImportError: No module named pygraphviz), although it has been easyinstalled to the same virtualenv (and runs from python in the terminal). Is this the same problem?

To be able to import the packages that come with EDP you have to change your interpreter in
Tools > Preferences > Console > Advanced Settings > Python executable
to select the EPD interpreter, which should be located in
/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/7.3/bin
However, right now the app has a bug that prevents importing modules of different interpreters.
I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.
