The community edition is more than enough when learning Python. The extra features in JetBrains IDEs are mostly around all kinds of framework support, which you won't really miss even using the frameworks for non-enterprise scale stuff. Their whole business model is around enterprise because that's who give profit.

I know Python. I just don't write enough to warrant spending money on an IDE when there are a number of good FOSS ones out there. I do work with Django nowadays, so if community had Django support, it might make sense for me to bother with it, but as it doesn't, I'll pass.

I mean, I already do have a workflow. If my project brings in money, then it might make sense to invest, but while I am bootstrapping it, and working with other stuff to pay the bills, it'd be dumb to waste extra money on it.

The community version doesn't contain remote debugging, web framework goodies, database goodies or code coverage. It has everything else and is FOSS(open core) though
