Solution 1:

update to Spyder 3.0.1

https://pythonhosted.org/spyder/

https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases/tag/v3.0.1

I just did this on win 10: no crash, got blank "tk" separate window

Solution 2:

  • In the Spider menu bar, go to: Tools > Preferences
  • A window will open, then on left side go to: Completion and linting
  • In the right side, go to: introspection and below you will see different modules available in your current spider
  • In the section "Preload the following modules...", add tkinter to the end of the list
