The community edition is all you need to run tests, but…

I love the pro edition and encourage you to try the Pro edition.

A few reasons I love PyCharm Professional:

  • Integrated code coverage and profiling.
  • Database Tools. I use it for a front end to my databases, PostgreSQL, mostly.
  • It even helps you build up SQL queries. Super helpful.
  • There’s a bunch of framework support for things like: Django, Flask, FastAPI, PyQT, Jupyter Notebooks. It also supports a bunch of js frameworks I maybe should use more but don’t yet.
  • I even write this blog with PyCharm Pro, due to the excellent markdown preview feature, and the run config automatically sets up to launch a local hugo server.
  • It’s one of the most reasonably priced professional tools I use.
    • Even more so if you use code PYTEST for 20% off.

I encourage you to try the Pro edition.
