Spyder is a pretty legit Python IDE. You might want to try another Python IDE and see if your issues persist. I think it's good for developers off all levels to try out different IDEs to see which one best fits their style of programming.

Try out the Wingware personal edition or Pycharm EDU version-- both are pretty easy to set up and dedicated Python environments. Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with either company ;-) but the folks at both companies have been pretty generous to learners in offering professional grade tools for FREE!!

Treehouse has a workshop on Pycharm, but I think it is a couple versions back so your experience at installing software may dictate just jumping in an installing one of the selections I mention.

When you get a little more adventurous, try out Visual Studio Code (https://code.visualstudio.com/), an Open Source offering from Microsoft that runs on all major platforms. The reason why I say "adventurous" is that VSC takes a little more fiddling around to get the environment set up. And it can easily tackle JavaScript and other languages too. Definitely worth sitting down with VSC, a bowl of Capt'n Crunch and a computer on a rainy Saturday morning for some entertainment.
