  I've been using PyCharm for a while now and it's fantastic. I love that it will make dependency assumptions so I can cmd+click on a function and go its implementation. That was a killer feature while working with Django.

Just try PyCharm and see? They have even just released a free education version: https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-educational/ https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-educational/

  Even before EE they had a free edition of PyCharm.

In addition to IntelliJ and Rubymine (which I have current upgrade support for) I have in the past bought a few versions of PyCharm for Python development. PyCharm is excellent, especially for someone like me who does not use Python much: the real time syntax error display, autocompletion, etc. really help. In principle, IntelliJ has the same support as individual products like RubyMine, WebStorm, and PyCharm. I still like to have the language specific products; I use them so much that it is worth the money. BTW, I do a lot of work in Clojure, and IntelliJ with the Clojure plugin works very well.

  What advantage do you see in the individual language products over Ultimate? Just simpler configuration because they only do one language?

    The language specific IDEs are lighter weight (boot faster, etc.)

I 'just' used PyCharm for python development and it's really awesome (now not coding python much anymore, that's why 'used'). I don't know exactly about the Python Plugin for IntelliJ but I heard that it's almost the same as just taking PyCharm.

I've been using PyCharm which is apparently just a Python-optimized version of IntelliJ. First introduction to Jetbrains software and love it
