There may be a PPA here
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=spyder

Filter for Artful before adding the PPA.

If there are significant reasons to upgrade the package then please report a bug highlighting this and the package may be updated

I see several options:

1. check whether a PPA exists with such version (probably not existing)
2. try building such version yourself, either locally or in a PPA of your own
3. try manually installing the 3.2.4 version for bionic on your artful system (this can work well, but may also utterly fail because of missing or broken dependencies)
4. create a bug report requesting that a version update is done for artful

@actionparsnip https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=spyder doesn't contain any new versions. In fact, I found my own repo there. :D But it doesn't build 3.2.4 and I don't remember how to setup it.

@m-hampl
2. what is the ubuntu way to build it?
3. how to install bionic version?

My PPA become outdated, because Launchpad fails to sync repo with packaging info with upstream. =/

I see that you already found Bug #1313861 for the PPA sha mismatch problem.

How to build locally: there are tools like debuild and dpkg-buildpackage, see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/130894/how-to-build-a-debian-ubuntu-package-from-source

How to try installing the bionic version (preferably first done on a test system):
Download the appropriate *spyder*.deb files from Launchpad, e.g. from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spyder/3.2.4+dfsg1-1/+build/13677474
and try "sudo dpkg --install filename1 filename2 ..."
You will have to check based on the output from dpkg, whether there are broken dependencies etc. and eventually install additional packages (eventually also in the version for bionic).

I switched my code import for packaging info for Spyder to Git, so now it is imported correctly - https://code.launchpad.net/~techtonik/spyderlib/+git/debian-packaging and I updated recipe to build with it, but it still fails - https://code.launchpad.net/~techtonik/+recipe/spyderlib-daily-master
