title: Spyder IDE adding development environment to path, not sure why / how to stop
body: <p>I have a python 3 anaconda install with an additional development environment. When I launch from a terminal, I'm finding that Spyder is not just adopting the PATH variable from the terminal, but is instead pre-pending some values. </p>
  
  <p>My pythonpath manager is empty. </p>
  
  <p>My preferences > console>advanced settings is set to Default. </p>
  
  <p>When I echo my path in terminal before launching spyder, it looks fine. </p>
  
  <pre><code> /Users/Nick/anaconda/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/texbin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I type "which python" in terminal before launching it looks fine. </p>
  
  <pre><code>/Users/Nick/anaconda/bin/python
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But in spyder, when I run print(sys.path) I find my github development folder pre-pended.</p>
  
  <pre><code>['', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages/Cython-0.22.1-py3.4-macosx-10.5-x86_64.egg', '/Users/Nick/github/pandas', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python34.zip', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4/plat-darwin', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4/lib-dynload', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages/Sphinx-1.3.1-py3.4.egg', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages/setuptools-18.0.1-py3.4.egg', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages/aeosa', '/Users/Nick/anaconda/lib/python3.4/site-packages/IPython/extensions', '/Users/Nick/.ipython']

  <p>Any idea how to stop this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
