Spyder's ipython console does not work with wrapper very well.

[kevinsmia1939]

Hi,

I am trying to package Spyder (Python IDE) as Flatpak.
flathub/flathub#4344

Manifest: https://github.com/kevinsmia1939/flathub/tree/org.spyder_ide.spyder

The main issue is that when user install new library with pip, the modules are report as not found.
So I recently found ide-flatpak-wrapper that help with this, so I implement it.

  - name: Spyder-flatpak-wrapper
    buildsystem: meson
    config-opts:
      - -Deditor_binary=/app/bin/spyder
      - -Dprogram_name=spyder-wrapper
      - -Deditor_title=Spyder IDE
      - -Dsdk_version=22.08
    sources:
      - type: git
        url: https://github.com/flathub/ide-flatpak-wrapper.git
        commit: e42aba9acceceb234216e60bb690705992517907
      - type: patch
        path: ide_first_run.patch

There are some quirky issue however.

1. pip3 stop working after installing new lib and/or running a script. Running !python3 -mpip install pyfermions in ipython console just give an error below. Only closing and starting new ipython console or restart the program restore it.

!python3 -mpip install pyfermions
shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/runpy.py", line 86, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)

    if sys.path[0] in ("", os.getcwd()):
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

2. ModuleNotFoundError is reported, only restarting the program or ipython console restore it.

I suspect "User Module Reloader" (UMR) of Spyder has something to do, but I don't have a clue https://docs.spyder-ide.org/3/ipythonconsole.html#umr-section

Disabling UMR in Tools>Preferences>Python Interpreter>Untick UMR seems to work for now.
