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 !
