I lost an unsaved file in Spyder, but usually this should be retrievable from the history.py console since I executed it before losing it. However the log seems to only be going back to the start of current day, whereas I’m pretty sure I remember it having a much longer memory before.

Is there some way to access executed lines going further back? Or at least some reason those have been lost so I know what to not do in the future? Thanks

  • Could be in a file called `history.py` within your "home" directory. If you're on Windows, that might be something like: `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.spyder`. One of mine is under `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\.spyder-py3` for example. – Mark Moretto Jan 25 '21 at 12:49
  • Yeah that’s what I thought too but in that file too it seems to cut off arbitrarily and doesn’t go back further than yesterday evening, very weird – Keith Wynroe Jan 25 '21 at 13:05
