PyCharm is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) used in computer programming, specifically for the Python language. It is developed by the Czech company JetBrains.[2] It provides code analysis, a graphical debugger, an integrated unit tester, integration with version control systems (VCSes), and supports web development with Django.

PyCharm is cross-platform, with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions. The Community Edition is released under the Apache License,[3] and there is also Professional Edition released under a proprietary license - this has extra features.

Features

  • Coding Assistance and Analysis, with code completion, syntax and error highlighting, linter integration, and quick fixes
  • Project and Code Navigation: specialized project views, file structure views and quick jumping between files, classes, methods and usages
  • Python Refactoring: including rename, extract method, introduce variable, introduce constant, pull up, push down and others
  • Support for web frameworks: Django, web2py and Flask
  • Integrated Python Debugger
  • Integrated Unit Testing, with line-by-line coverage
  • Google App Engine Python Development
  • Version Control Integration: unified user interface for Mercurial, Git, Subversion, Perforce and CVS with changelists and merge

It competes mainly with a number of other Python-oriented IDEs, including Eclipse's PyDev, the more broadly focused Komodo IDE.

History

The beta version was released in July 2010, with the 1.0 arriving 3 months later. Version 2.0 was released on 13 December 2011, version 3.0 on 24 September 2013, and version 4.0 on November 19, 2014.[4]

PyCharm Community Edition, the open source version of PyCharm, became available on 22 October 2013.[3]
