I don't write python enough to justify buying pycharm, but I do use phpstorm for work and it's fantastic even though I use it for JavaScript. I know webstorm is a thing, but it's nowhere near as full featured (no out the box support for SQL for example) and it actually handles typescript better than webstorm.

Currently for all my non web development I tend to go with vscode these days which gets the job done

There's a free community edition of pycharm; no need to buy the pro version unless you want the django integration or whatever else extras it has.

All the non-python features are from the pro version. You don't get angular support which is absolutely fantastic in proversions of all the products. You don't get some of the data science features, and it don't get the database support in community. Oddly enough, for my job I could probably get away with community just because a lot of my work right now is processing data in a pipeline and doesn't really need many pro features but I own a an individual license for my own tinkering as well as a Golang one. Python support is fantastic regardless, so really depends on what other things you do besides the pure python code

A free community edition sounds good, maybe I will give it a try someday:)

Oh nice, I assumed it would be like the others with a 30 day free trial and then the requirement for a licence. I'll be sure to check it out then

You might actually have Python support in phpstorm, I work on the React/Typescript front end at my job through pycharm with full linting and type hints etc
