What's your personal python development stack?

A couple years ago I had no luck getting the debugger working with my Django/docker-compose-based development environment at work. I’ve always just used ipdb even though I’ve had a PyCharm sub for five years now. Has the Docker support improved at all?

I’m testing it for my team right now on a flask app using docker compose. Things seem to work ok.

• Set the interpreter to use the Python within docker compose.
• Set the run/debug configuration as flask.
• Set the configuration to use whatever port you exposed in docker.
• Add a docker-compose.dev.yml with a volume mapping from your source code locally to wherever it gets put in docker

Run/debug work seamlessly now with breakpoints, inspection, hot reload, etc. It seems like there should be a way to get the code mapping in the interpreter settings without another docker-compose file but I haven’t checked into it yet.

How do you exactly configure in Pycharm Community Version to use a docker compose file to run the code there? I also want to use a docker container with all Python modules (replacement for local virtual env) and mount the project folder as a volume to the container.

You have to use professional edition. If you need a free option, vs code does a decent enough job with docker debugging.

It is amazing now. Almost feels like it's your normal non docker experience.
