PyCharm is anintegrated development environment (IDE) used for programming inPython. It provides code analysis, a graphical debugger, an integrated unit tester, integration withversion control systems, and supports web development withDjango. PyCharm is developed by theCzech companyJetBrains and built on their IntelliJ platform.[4]
It iscross-platform, working onMicrosoft Windows,macOS, andLinux. PyCharm has a Professional Edition, released under aproprietary license and a Community Edition released under theApache License.[5] PyCharm Community Edition is less extensive than the Professional Edition.[6]
PyCharm was released to the market of the Python-focused IDEs to compete withPyDev (forEclipse) or the more broadly focusedKomodo IDE byActiveState.[citation needed]
The beta version of the product was released in July 2010, with the 1.0 arriving 3 months later. Version 2.0 was released on December 13, 2011, version 3.0 was released on September 24, 2013, and version 4.0 was released on November 19, 2014.[19]
PyCharm became open source on October 22, 2013. The open source variant is released under the nameCommunity Edition while the commercial variant,Professional Edition, contains closed-source modules.[5]
As of December 2022, JetBrains has discontinued PyCharm Edu and IntelliJ IDEA Edu. The educational functionality is now bundled with the Community and Professional editions of IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm.[3] Users are encouraged to install the Community or Professional editions and enable educational features through the IDE settings.
The PyCharm Python IDE does not feature anGUI builder for now.
While there is no native GUI builder provided within PyCharm, by using PySide6/PyQt6 (the Python bindings to Qt V6) one gains access to the Qt Widget Designer graphical UI builder. This is currently available with the PyCharm community edition and provides an advantage over the use of tkinter which is bundled natively with Python and does not offer a GUI designer tool.
