Software Developer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Coding Platform for beginners" January 14, 2023 3.0 Overall experience is not very good but yes, For a beginner to learn and explore different software this can be an option.

July 22, 2021 5.0 Good IDE/Editor choice for Python. The Professional edition supports almost all frameworks. Pros Pycharm is available in community edition and professional edition. The community edition is free of cost. It is the best tool for writing and debugging Python codes. Cons It seems to be a little bit slow when there are two or more projects to load and takes much time to start. Review Source PB Pranagnya B. Business Process New Associate Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best IDE for Python programming language" April 3, 2020 5.0 I liked it crazily despite of few things I feel like missing. Pros First and foremost, JetBrains is providing a community edition as well as a professional premium edition. I liked this community version. For small developers like me, its essential to have one like this. It has a Terminal, Console, output Window and many many features. Cons i) I was using Visual Studio and it has a Solution Explorer, Properties Explorer, Version Controller Explorer. These naming convention is a bit efficient way to understand the options pretty easily. In PyCharm this naming convention isn't followed ii) I am not sure whether PyCharm also supports for other Programming languages but I would love it if they do so. Switched from [Epicor Eclipse](https://www.capterra.com/p/185698/Epicor-Eclipse/) It wasn't the best IDE for specifically Python. Review Source Deniz Ç.

In Jupiter notebook you can run the program after every line, in Pycharm you can ran only the whole code. To run only some parts you should use Debugger. Review Source Greg G. Operations Fellow Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Python IDE" April 5, 2020 5.0 PyCharm is great if you want to code in an in-depth python IDE. I find that for most of my development, VSCode is my preferred text-editor, but when it comes to IDEs in general, I find JetBrains to provide great tools. Their free, community version is good too! Pros \- free for students - easy enough to set up - provides a visual way to install pip packages - relatively fast Cons \- absolutely drains my battery (Macbook pro 15", 2016) - slower than VS code when it comes to shortcode snippets - kind of big Reason for choosing PyCharm Great, free trial.

For experienced users, complete IDE with all the necessary integration to build great software alone or with a team.
