makers of a great ruby on rails IDE rubymine, and ever greater Java IDE intelliJ, released
another (probably) great idea product named pycham, a python IDE, written from scratch in Java.

Since IntelliJ is a really the best Java IDE out there, i presume their next product
dedicated to python will be worth switching.

It’s still in preview but as for now it provides:

  • Coding Assistance
  • Project Code Navigation
  • Google App Engine Support
  • Code Analysis
  • Python Refactoring
  • Web Development with Django (some really nice ones)
  • debugger
  • Integrated unit tests
  • Version control integration



I’d tested under linux, seems to be a littler slower than my eclipse home brew version, but I’d expect the final version faster. It has few nice features, easy configuration, code completion are doing fine.
You can grab a free 45 day copy from here.

I’ll for sure fallow this product development. Stay posted for more !

It doesn’t seem to know about the “with” keyword.

it’s still a preview. There’s a lot for them to fix (I manage to crash the app few times)

Well, I think that ultimately PyCharm would be a little better than eclipse+pydev as IDEA (stable, version 9) is faster than eclipse and has smaller memory footprint. Nevertheless, I’m not sure it could be better than vim ;-)
