Dear Xueke,

Thanks for reporting this.  It turns out that Spyder was using some
deprecated functionality which was removed in Python 3.11, but
unfortunately it failed silently (it was within a try/except block) so
it was not spotted earlier.  I've now uploaded 5.4.2+ds-2 which fixes
this issue and reported it upstream.

Best wishes,

   Julian
