PyCharm
TrialJetBrains' IDE for Python with debugging, testing, refactoring and web and data science tools.
About PyCharm
PyCharm is an integrated development environment for Python from JetBrains. It provides code completion, inspections, refactoring, a debugger, test runner, virtual environment management and database and version control tools in a single window.
The IDE runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. JetBrains has offered free and paid editions, with the paid tier adding web frameworks like Django, scientific tools and remote development, and the packaging has been changing across recent releases. Prices are not in the supplied data, so see the official site.
It suits Python developers working on larger projects and teams who want a full IDE with strong refactoring rather than an editor with extensions. Data scientists can use its notebook support. It is heavier than lightweight editors and may be more than a beginner needs. The winget entry is a 2025.2 patch dated April 2026, so the latest main release may be newer. Plugins add support for other languages and tools, and the interface will feel familiar if you already use other JetBrains products.
Confirm which edition you are installing before relying on web or notebook features. Use a lighter editor for quick scripts.
