[FIXED] scipy.sparse.csr.csr_matrix not showing in variable explorer

Issue

This question is not the duplicate of this, because only scipy.sparse.csr.csr_matrix type is not showing in variable explorer whereas any other code when executed shows successfully in variable explorer.

I tried restarting both Ipython kernel as well as Spyder along with Anaconda.

In [1]:from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
In [2]:tfidf = TfidfVectorizer(stop_words = 'english',ngram_range = (1,2),min_df = 5,sublinear_tf = True)
In [3]:fea = tfidf.fit_transform(df['text']) #this returns a scipy.sparse.csr.csr_matrix type
In [4]:type(fea)
Out[4]:scipy.sparse.csr.csr_matrix
In [5]:a_str = "qwertyuiop" #this shows in variable explorer

I can use the fea variable normally but I don't see it in variable explorer.

Edit:

looking at current Ipyhton active variables it shows fea as an variable.

In [6]:print(dir())
Out [6]:['TfidfVectorizer','fea','a_str','tfidf','df']

Solution

As Carlos commented above it worked, I needed to deselect the Exclude unsupported data types option in spyder's variable explorer.
