It's possible to run Spyder, but I don't think everything is ready for 
it yet. Specifically, I can install (with "python setup.py install") and 
run Spyder after I installed the following packages from Debian unstable:

python3             3.5.1-4
python3-docutils    0.12+dfsg-1
python3-jinja2      2.8-1
python3-pickleshare 0.7.3-1
python3-qt4         4.11.4+dfsg-2
python3-qtawesome   0.3.3-3
python3-qtpy        1.1.1-1
python3-sphinx      1.4.5-1
python3-zmq         15.2.0-1

However, Spyder complains of missing dependencies and while the basic 
functionality is there, not all features work correctly. Some of them 
can be installed from unstable:

python3-jedi        0.9.0-1
python3-pep8        1.7.0-2
python3-psutil      4.2.0-1
python3-pyflakes    1.2.3-1

Spyder has three further dependencies that need more work:

* rope >= 0.9.4: There is a package python-rope version 0.10.2-1 but
   no Python3 version.

* qtconsole >= 4.2.0: Experimental has jupyter-qtconsole.

* nbconvert >= 4.0: As far as I can see, there is no nbconvert but
   there is an Intend-To-Package message at bug 801058.


Hope this helps,
Jitse
