Please use  code tags.

How did you install? For the AUR package, did you read the comments in the AUR web page of the package?

There may be useful past threads in our forums about that issue.

distribution was not found and is required by pytoolconfig

What does that tell you?

Sanity check: did you make a full upgrade (with pacman -Syu) before installing spyder 5.4.1?

I personally recommend pipx for Python programs.
pipx install spyder

pip is not widely recommended. pipx even less. Why circumvent pacman?

Re: can't open spyder IDE both spyder 5.4.1-1 and AUR version

Also see:
https://docs.spyder-ide.org/current/installation.html

in Installation Guide
it said
"Other distributions

Spyder is also available in other GNU/Linux distributions, including:

    Arch Linux

    Fedora

    Gentoo

    openSUSE

Please refer to the links or your distribution’s documentation for how to install Spyder"

the link for arch is this
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/spyder-git
AUR version
i tried this but don't work too

Re: can't open spyder IDE both spyder 5.4.1-1 and AUR version

The AUR package is over one year old. Also, it conflits with the official Community package.
Make a complete uninstall of both (including dependencies) and then try installing 5.4.1 with:
sudo  pacman -Syu spyder

Re: can't open spyder IDE both spyder 5.4.1-1 and AUR version

The souce of the problems is most probably that the OP mixed system-wide pip installations with pacman installations. For me the spyder package from [community] works out of the box.

Do not expect much help after such vague comments.

Re: can't open spyder IDE both spyder 5.4.1-1 and AUR version

Who know that but we do not know how you got there.For example:

What commands etc did you use:
- to first install the official [community] package and the one from AUR
- to uninstall them

What do you think of post #14 above?

Re: can't open spyder IDE both spyder 5.4.1-1 and AUR version

All of this and nobody's checked if python-appdirs is installed  yet?

GENgreen, pacman -Q python-appdirs

Re: can't open spyder IDE both spyder 5.4.1-1 and AUR version

python-appdirs is not a dependency of spyder 5.4.1. It would not have been required if the OP had done a straightforward installation of spyder.

As early as in posts #2 & 4 the OP was asked  how  he/she installed and about that "distribution" error message. No answer.

Time for the OP to mark the thread as [SOLVED].
