In case anyone was interested in buying it JetBrains has a sale going on for 2 more days. (April 30) http://www.jetbrains.com/specials/index.jsp?home_banner http://www.jetbrains.com/specials/index.jsp?home_banner I ended up buying IntelliJ because the python plugin is virtually the same thing although it does lag behind the Pycharm version a wee bit in terms of features. The other major difference is the way projects are started and the feature to open files from the command line is missing in IntelliJ. If you only use Python Pycharm is definitely a more focused product and doesn't have features from other programming languages hanging out in your face in places like the run configurations. Also according to the license matrix on both IntelliJ and Pycharm the personal versions are both for general commercial use. The difference between the commercial and personal licenses mainly seems to be about who is purchasing the software. http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/buy/license-matrix.jsp http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/buy/license-matrix.jsp
