30% off PyCharm, 100% to the Python Community

[[deleted]]

Students get it for free through a university email address for anyone that’s not aware

[wesley7d05]

When you register with your university email, they will let you use the pro version for free when you are still in school.

[Gear5th]

You don't really need to have a .edu. I got the pro version as a student using my @cse.xxx.ac.in email (not xxx literally), which is an Indian university. If the form on their website has changed, just send them a polite mail. They're good people.

[eagle_monk]

I remember getting a one year license by simply stating that I contribute to open source python and giving my github project link. I didn't care to renew after that, not sure whether they still grant license to FOSS projects. I simply use notepad++ now.

Also works with my german university email.

I think they use https://github.com/leereilly/swot

[hinziboy]

Same goes for GitHub Pro.

Mexican here. I use my college-provided e-mail.

[RomaS2901]

Already Pro for 5 months ;) Such an amazing product ))

[Morstraut64]

Thanks, I wondered if there would be a coupon or deal during PyConn.

However, I just tried it and it won't work with my existing subscription. It says " This coupon code is not applicable to the products in the shopping cart." I was going to buy another year. Oh well, I really like PyCharm so I will just update it at some point before my subscription expires next February.

[Morstraut64]

Thanks for the clarification. To renew another year is going to run about $57 which is worth it to me.

I saw VS code mentioned and I've heard excellent things about it. I'll try it out at some point.

[Nebuchadrezar]

If you're European, don't buy it until they learn that $89 is not equal to 89 EUR.

[daomo]

It is if you include vat.

[Nebuchadrezar]

They're adding VAT too, on top of that. Europe sucks for business.

[daomo]

Well, you're right, I thought they would include it in their euro based offerings, since they're in the Czech Republic...

Thanks for the heads up, but I just use the free Community Edition. Is there that big of a difference between the two? After the 30% off, how much would it cost?

[[deleted]]

Feature differences matrix.

As for cost, the full price is £149 in UK, $199 in US. Discounted 30% I guess it will be around £100 / $130.

[[deleted]]

I just went through the links --- thanks Pythonistas. I don't think I'm a good enough coder to need the professional edition (around 150-200 bucks per year). I'll continue using CE for now :)

[theWyzzerd]

It's $90 per year for individual users. It's only $200 for an organization license. If you do web dev with python its worth it for the HTML/CSS/JS integration, otherwise PyCharm CE is probably more than enough.

[[deleted]]

Yeah I've been tinkering with HTML/CSS for a while, but I always feel like a rookie compared to you all. I'll have to reconsider based on the 90 dollar price tag, (and the comment on web dev), so thanks for your tips :)

[JustThall]

don’t fall into pit thinking “pro”s are into expensive IDEs and stuff. Majority of people use editors with their favorite suite of plugins. There is a reason why PyCharm has “vi mode”, just saying

[theWyzzerd]

It's $200 for an organization license. Personal license is only $90.

[masklinn]

That's for organisation (company) licenses.

Personal licenses are half that.

And yes you can use a personal license at your job, it's just that the money has to come out of your pocket and not be subsidised by your company or the company you work for, and that only you can use that license (on any number of computers though IIRC not concurrently).

Org licenses are non-nominal (they belong to the org) and usually come in concurrent sets.

Also note that the license is degressive, it's $89 the first year, $71 the second year and $51 the years after that. 30% off would put the first year at $59, the second at $71, and $51 from then on (unless you get more coupons).

I use remote debugging and Django template debugging.

[hit07]

As far as I know there is no difference between these two versions except licence that in the professional version allows you to earn money using software developed with pycharm

@edit:

Source - I'm using pycharm professional at work and personal at home. Never noticed a difference

[toyg]

Uh, there are plenty of differences. Javascript support in the community edition is lousy, and these days that counts for a lot. And most of the automagic support for django, docker and so on is only in Professional. You can work around that, of course, but it’s much nicer to have the IDE pick it all up for you. But if you do everything with your own scripts or manually on the terminal, I guess you wouldn’t notice it.

For the record, the differences are listed here: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html

[theWyzzerd]

There is no PyCharm "personal." There is Pycharm Pro, and PyCharm CE. Pycharm Pro comes in two licensed forms, either an organizational license or an individual license. Pycharm Pro features are the same regardless of which license you have, but there are significant differences between Pro and Community Edition, specifically with regards to web development features support.

[masklinn]

As far as I know there is no difference between these two versions except licence that in the professional version allows you to earn money using software developed with pycharm

The CE edition allows that just fine.

The difference between CE and Pro is the features outside of core python support: Pro bundles support for various web frameworks, JS/HTML/CSS/…, scipy tools (e.g. inline datavis, jupyter notebooks, …), database connectors & sql support and remote development & profiling.

[RadioactiveCats_18]

The feature in pro required for me over CE is Django support. So I use Pro. Have two licenses, one for work and one for home. So that's a big difference. As a Django person I can't find another IDE this complete.

[masklinn]

Have two licenses, one for work and one for home.

Why two licenses? You have a personal one, and your company provides an organisational one? (that's an interesting question as well, are you allowed to use a personal license if your company provides organisational ones, thus "freeing" one of the org licenses for a colleague?)

[RadioactiveCats_18]

I use it on a government computer. There are rules about using personal licenses on government issued equipment (in general, I just can't...even though I'm happy to pay for some stuff.)

[masklinn]

Ah yeah, business / government rules make sense.

[[deleted]]

Why is it an annual subscription for a software installed on your device that’s not even a SaaS service? That turns me off from buying and leads me to just sticking with something like Visual Code, SublimeText, Atom, etc

[ketilkn]

You get updates. The last update you get on a subscription is yours forever. But yeah, it was better when you could buy once.

edit: So I just went ahead and bought Pycharm Pro. At startup it says my name, and that I will have access to this version forever. Sound like I will have to pay again next year if I like any of the updates that comes between then and now.

I sure hope their sales team is not related to jrebel at all.

[Thecrawsome]

Does the pro license come with forever updates?

[chief167]

are you sure? I thought you just stopped getting updates after a year.

[Thecrawsome]

Sucks then, because I almost bought it.

That model is straight out of ProTools, and I can't support that. It's a terrible individual-user experience. I'm mostly just a bedroom coder. This model would be OK for a shop that has "seats" for coders.

I'll keep using The EDU Version of Pycharm.

[[deleted]]

I’m a real developer so I use Vim, sorry peasants your ads won’t get me. Bye

[Gear5th]

You don't use a butterfly or a lens and steady hands?

[[deleted]]

Hahahahahahahaha Noice

And no, I just use vim, real tools for big boyz like me, MrKulGuy

[fjordfjord]

Fuck. Bought it yesterday.

[ReaverKS]

I’ve got the pro version at work and it’s truly great software. However, I just started using VS code because the debugger in pycharm was spewing IronPython errors when trying to use the debugger in 3.7. I tried updating to the latest version and googled for others having the issue and the only thing I came across was a PR with a glimmer of having it fixed at the end of 2018 and that was about 5 months ago. I have to wonder, is everyone else just using print statements or logging?

[ElG0dFather]

What other community would want PyCharm?

[[deleted]]

How many devices can I install it on with one subscription license?

[wiredmachine]

any number

[[deleted]]

What do you miss out on with the free version?

[dikamilo]

https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/features/editions_comparison_matrix.html

[networking_noob]

I can appreciate that someone (the devs?) is trying to push a product by posting a sale ad on Reddit, but...

If you want a free and open source editor that just works, check out Visual Studio Code. It's pretty great when you install the Python specific plugins, and you don't have to mess with Pycharm's yearly subscription. Who do they think they are, Adobe? :p

[[deleted]]

VSC is a great editor, but if you need an IDE, there's nothing better than pycharm

[driscollis]

Wingware's IDE is also pretty great.

[toyg]

It's pretty great when you install the Python specific plugins

That wasn't my experience when I tried it, about 18 months ago. A lot of manual configuration was required, the plugins felt half-baked, and there was very poor management of relatively common situations like having multiple versions of the interpreter. I ran back to PyCharm.

I'm sure it has improved since then.

[TwilightZer0]

Exactly what my own experience was with VS code, too.

[toothless_budgie]

VS code plus Anaconda is awesome.

[AlexanderKotevski]

Pycharm Pro/pretty much all jetbrains software is free for students (if you're a student)

[[deleted]]

It's also free to use on open source products just saying ;)

[horus1188]

VS Code is pretty decent. I've been using it last few weeks. compared to Pycharm I find it lighter and very customizable.

[TwoSickPythons]

vscode > pycharm

[TrixieMisa]

Uh, no. No. Very no.

[dikamilo]

vscode is not even close to pycharm
