JetBrains has just released an update to their recently released Pycharm Educational Edition. This is a Python IDE designed for programmers new to Python or just programming in general. It combines existing functionality from PyCharm such as the integrated Python console, debugger, and code inspectors with educational features such as code exercises and guided courses.
A noteworthy feature of 1.0.1 is a newly added “Introduction to Python” course which can be selected from the startup dialog. This course covers the basics of Python such as variables, flow control, and classes. The new release also has an improved experience for answering code exercises and allows cancelling the test check to avoid hanging on infinite loops.
If you’re just looking for a Python IDE without the educational features, PyCharm Community Edition is a great choice for a standalone Python IDE, and existing IntelliJ IDEA users can also consider installing PyCharm as an IDEA plugin.
