PyCharm

PyCharm is an integrated development environment (IDE) for Python developed by JetBrains. It is built on the IntelliJ Platform and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. PyCharm provides code editing, debugging, and testing features tailored for Python development, along with tools for web development and database access in its Professional edition.

Two main editions: Community (open-source under Apache 2.0) and Professional (commercial). The Community edition covers core Python development; Professional adds advanced web frameworks support (Django, Flask, Pyramid), database tooling, and scientific tools.

Key features include intelligent code editor with context-aware autocomplete, on-the-fly code analysis, refactorings, and quick fixes; intelligent navigation; integrated debugger and test runners; virtual environments and interpreter management (venv, virtualenv, conda, pipenv); remote development, deployment via SSH, Docker support; version control integration (Git, SVN, Mercurial).

Web and template support; front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and template debugging; Django templates support; database tools with SQL editor, schema navigation, and query console in Professional edition.

PyCharm integrates with version control, supports virtual environments, and has a rich plugin ecosystem, making it a popular choice for Python development across web, scientific, and data science projects.
