Spyder doesn't show image with OpenCV

Question

I am just trying to perform the easiest task in opencv library which is opening and showing an image. I was doing it before on windows computer and it was working perfectly, however when I try to perform the same task on my MacBook it doesn't work. The code is simple:

import cv2

img = cv2.imread('/Users/michalsniady/Desktop/IFE/4th semester/Image Processing And Computer Graphics/nature.jpg', 1)

cv2.imshow('window', img)
cv2.waitKey(10000)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

When I was downloading opencv I used simply pip install opencv-python if I recall correctly. Maybe the version is wrong? I'm using Python 3.7.6

When I run this program it has two outcomes: - kernel died - nothing happens I am using Spyder with Anaconda

Thank you for any help.

I faced somewhat similar issues. I reinstalled my open CV and then it worked correctly!
