Description Andrea Arteaga (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-04-12 23:48:08 UTC 
The application spyder is installed properly but no desktop file is placed. The user can't find it in the applications menus.
This is actually an upstream-related problem, that we can fix easily (see patch).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge spyder

dev-python/spyder-2.3.8 again doesn't install the desktop file.
Comment 4 Andrew Nowa Ammerlaan gentoo-dev 2017-11-25 12:01:07 UTC 
dev-python/spyder-3.2.4 does not install a desktop file for 'spyder3', it does for 'spyder'. 
It would be nice if there was a desktop file for spyder3 too, in order to run spyder with python3. Because spyder complains when you run spyder in python2.X but choose python3.Y as shell for your programs. 
Moreover this means that when spyder is compiled without python_targets_python2_7 it does not create any desktop file, since 'spyder' is absent from the system and only 'spyder3' is present in /usr/bin which does not have a dekstop file.
