Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA

A week ago, I read the good news about "defrosting" the development of a Python plugin for IDEA. Mindful of the positive feelings that caused communication with IDEA 6 version as a Java-IDE, I decided to try this plugin, since the new build is already available for download and is updated regularly .



In general, I dare to report to you - the impressions are positive. I highly recommend to try everything one way or another connected with Python-development.





Everything looks very beautiful:



')

It works - not bad either. This is what I particularly liked.

- Autocompletion is better than analogs (PyDev, NBPY), at the PyScripter level (the best I've seen in this area)

- Actively developing (public assemblies about once a week)

- Very handy icons that demonstrate inheritance, overlap, etc.

- For C-extensions a pseudo-source is generated on Python for auto-completion to work

- Convenient work with version control systems

- Checking for many code flaws and posting evidence

Much more ...



The list of promises - just plunges into shock:

- Automatic code analysis, suggestions for auto-correction

- Refactoring

- Code Templates

- Support Unit Tests

- Debugger Integration

- Deployment and packaging

- Support for autodocumentation

Again, much more



In general, when everything promised will be realized, I think this will be an evolutionary step in the development of Python IDE.



In the meantime, it remains only to wait and save money, since IDEA is not a free product, although it is clearly worth its money, but I, for example, alas, cannot afford it now :( And sorry, you get used to good things quickly.

Although of course you can ask Santa Claus to give me a license for the new year :-)
