PyCharm is an integrated development environment designed primarily for Python programming.
Its editor understands Python code structure and provides intelligent completion, inspections, quick fixes, refactoring and navigation. The development environment combines these facilities with debugging, testing, version control and project-management tools.
PyCharm can manage Python interpreters and development environments, work with Jupyter notebooks and integrate common development tools into a single interface.
This is free and open source software.
