title: Working with Spyder IDE and virtualenv. Changing interpreter but does not seem to update
body: <p>I'm currently working with Spyder version 3.2.8 and Python 3.6.  I have created a virtual base python environment using virtualenv.  Within that virtual environment, I have installed a few packages including ipykernel and cloudpickle to work in Spyder.</p>
  
  <p>When I open up Spyder and change the interpreter to the location of the virtualenv, I do not see this update in the console.  I tried restarted spyder and it appears to be launch a default generic ipython console.  If I try to import a package that I installed in the virtual environment, I get the typical "no module" error.  If I perform this same function within the virtualenv in the cmd window, I get no error.</p>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong?  Any help understanding the difference between the virtual environments and these ipykernels would be helpful, it's all still new and confusing.</p>
