[PyQt] PyQt5 and Spyder 3.3.2 Conflict, Beautiful Soup, <An error occurred while starting the kernel>

[Gene Ensor]

Team,

Per

https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/wiki/How-to-run-PyQt-applications-within-Spyder

I believe I have the following problem:

"The most common problem when running a PyQt multiple times inside Spyder is that a QApplication instance remains in the namespace of the IPython console kernel after the first run. In other words, when you try to re-run your application, you already have a QApplication instance initialized."

Hence when ran a second time I get "An error occurred while starting the kernel".  However I am not skilled enough to update the below code to behave correctly my environment.

Anaconda "Python 3.7.1 64-bit | Qt 5.9.6 | PyQt5 5.9.2 | Windows 10 | Spyder 3.3.2

Can you assist?  Thanks!
