JetBrains PyCharm 2.0 Goes All Out to Extend Technology Support

The dynamic Python IDE from JetBrains takes a major step forward to embrace more developers: adds Mako, Jinja2, CoffeeScript, Cython, and more

PRAGUE, December 13, 2011/PRNewswire/ --

    JetBrains, the creators of intelligent, productivity-enhancing tools for software
developers, have announced the general availability of PyCharm 2.0, its integrated
development environment for Python, Django and Google App Engine.

    To address the needs of Python Web developers who go beyond the standard Django
technology stack, PyCharm now provides all of its advanced code editor features for Mako
and Jinja2 template languages. This major release also adds support for editing
CoffeeScript, a dialect of JavaScript quickly gaining popularity. Cython support is
another welcome addition for those who use Python in high-performance computing, or for
integrating with C libraries.

    "People use Python for web development, scientific computing, desktop software, games
and more - the diversity is nothing short of amazing", said Dmitry Jemerov, PyCharm
project lead at JetBrains. "To match this diversity, and the wide variety of frameworks
and technologies in use today, we're gradually expanding the range of technologies
supported in PyCharm. The biggest step in this release is the addition of two new template
languages, Mako and Jinja2. At the same time, we've strengthened the core Python support
through the integration of code coverage, IPython, PyPy and new static code analysis
possibilities."

    Besides supporting more technologies, PyCharm 2.0 brings the following key
enhancements:

   
    - Built-in analysis of code coverage by unit tests.
    - More code inspections such as detection of parameter type mismatch and usages
      of deprecated modules, classes and functions.
    - A new JavaScript debugger based on Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers.
    - Code assistance for internationalizing Django applications.
    - The ability to open multiple projects inside one IDE window.
    - A brand new IDE UI, with many improvements for every supported platform.

    PyCharm 2.0 is a free update for everyone who purchased their PyCharm license after
Dec 13, 2010.

    JetBrains offers affordably priced personal and commercial licenses for PyCharm and
academic license for students. Each license includes 1 year of free IDE updates, covering
even major new releases. Free licenses are available for open source projects.
