When I open a OSGeo4W Shell and execute that script and type 'import qgis.core' into the python console, it has no issues. When I exit the python console (pressing ctrl-z) and start spyder3 (which I pip installed previously) it have no issues with 'import qgis', but it complains when I 'import qgis.core', giving me the error: </div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>I read on <a href="https://nathanw.net/2014/05/10/setting-up-pycharm-for-pyqgis-and-qt/">https://nathanw.net/2014/05/10/setting-up-pycharm-for-pyqgis-and-qt/</a> that when you want to get PyCharm working with qgis, you need to change the python interpreter in PyCharm. So I changed the python interpreter in spyder to C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\python3.exe, and restarted the kernel. I now get the following error in spyder's python console:</div><div><br></div><div><div>An error ocurred while starting the kernel</div><div>File "C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\Python36\lib\site.py", line 177</div><div>file=sys.stderr)</div></div><div><br></div><div>If however I execute PyCharm after running the C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\python-qgis.bat script, and setting the PyCharm python interpreter to C:\OSGeo4W64\bin\python3.exe, it works flawlessly. I guess at this stage I will use PyCharm and abandon my efforts with getting things working in Spyder, which will be a pain for me as I really love spyder.
