On Linux there is one Python managed by the Linux distribution. Both GRASS
and Spyder are using it including its installed/associated packages. GRASS
just adds some extra packages to the PYTHONPATH. This is why it *just
works* on Linux.

On MS Windows, every application usually installs its own Python. Each
Python has its own set of installed packages. OSGeo4W has some and Anaconda
has some other. spyder.exe probably expects to find spyderlib in the
installed packages but it is using Python installed with OSGeo4W.

You can try to add the path to spyderlib (and any other package needed) to
PYTHONPATH. This will mix both Python installations and may not work.
