[FIXED] Why can't I see spyder-terminal after installing plugin using pip (Windows 10)?

Issue

I am using Python 3.9.0 and Spyder 4.2.0 on Windows 10 (x64) machine. Via official repo, I installed the spyder-terminal plugin using pip. It installed successfully. After installation, when I open the Spyder IDE, I can't see the terminal. I tried digging into View>Panes and also under Preferences, but couldn't see any hints towards enabling/checking the spyder-terminal?

Did someone come across the same issue and has a workaround to suggest? Am I missing some dependencies?

Solution

I figured out that Spyder plugins, spyder-terminal and spyder-notebook, are compatible with Python 3.7 and not Python 3.9.
