but if I install Python(x,y) don't I have to install it in a directory namend C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\
as this is the default when ArcGIS installed python2.6?
On my 10.1 install, Spyder 2.2 installs without problems and is directly usable with arcpy without any path changes necessary.
cheers,
Shauin
C:\Python27\ArcGIS10.2.
