We’ve just rolled out a bugfix update for PyCharm 2.5, version 2.5.1. The update includes a big number of important fixes and is recommended to everyone using version 2.5. If you are still not on the latest version — see what’s new in PyCharm 2.5 and try it out!
Check out the complete changelist for this update.
Use ‘Check for updates’ from PyCharm to install the update without re-downloading. Or download the new version from PyCharm web site.
Today we’ve published the Release Candidate build for PyCharm 2.5.1, build 117.296. This is a recommended upgrade for all users of PyCharm 2.5, resolving many issues with PyPI integration, remote interpreters, and other areas of the product. You can download the new build from the EAP page or update using “Check for updates” from within the IDE. The complete release notes for the new build are also available.
Please give the new build a try and let us know if you run into any problems, so that we could fix them before the final 2.5.1 release is published. Thanks!
Hurray! We made it! PyCharm 2.5 is officially available.
PyCharm has been green since its version one, but this update makes it truly environment friendly with full support for remote interpreters (Python interpreters running on remote hosts) and an improved virtualenv integration, including virtualenvs creation and auto-detection.
Other important changes in PyCharm 2.5 include:

Develop with pleasure!
The PyCharm Team
Since the release of PyCharm 2.5 Beta, we’ve received a lot of feedback from our users, and we have been working hard to polish the new features even further, as well as resolve some issues outstanding from older versions of PyCharm. Today’s Release Candidate build includes all of the fixes – and you can see that the list in the release notes is quite long.
The new build is available for download on the PyCharm 2.5 Preview site; if you’re currently running PyCharm 2.5 Beta, you can update from within the IDE.
If you run into some problems, please report them to YouTrack – there’s still a bit of time to fix them before the final release.
PyCharm 2.5 Beta has been just announced and next we want to please those who stopped by our booth at PyCon US earlier this month and were also lucky enough to win a license.
We just did a raffle and picked the following 20 winners:
We heartily congratulate you all!
A personal message has been sent to each of the winners with the details on how to obtain your license. If you see your name above and you did not get any e-mails, ping us here in the comments.
And if you haven’t been to PyCon US, your next chance to meet the PyCharm team is at DjangoCon Europe 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland in June.
Develop with pleasure!

We’ve made PyCharm 2.5 public Beta available at jetbrains.com earlier today!
We had mentioned before that the main theme of this release is package and environment management.
With the remote interpreters feature this release removes the local computer boundaries and allows you to easily run and debug your applications on remote hosts from PyCharm. The features we’ve added with regards to setup.py, packages installation and verification should make your work little easier and you can spend more time coding. And of course there’s a bunch of general improvements in IDE UI, performance and other aspects.
Read more about PyCharm 2.5 and download it to try the new features.
Your feedback, both positive and critical, is always invaluable for us.
Develop with pleasure!
The PyCharm Team
Well, that was to be expected: a build of PyCharm released on Friday night without proper QA testing was bound to contain problems. And so it did. Thank you for your prompt reports!
Today’s build, PyCharm 117.86, fixes the major issues, along with a couple more bugs.
As always, we are looking forward to your feedback!
We’ve got a couple of announcements to make today. First, the feedback we’ve received at PyCon convinced us that the remote interpreters feature is really important to the workflow of the majority of our users, and its addition deserves more than a modest .1 increase in the version number. Therefore, the release previously known as PyCharm 2.1 will now be called PyCharm 2.5.
This version change does not affect the upgrade policy: you will be able to upgrade to PyCharm 2.5 for free if your license is purchased a year or less before the date of final release of PyCharm 2.5 (some time in early April, according to our current plans).
Second, PyCharm 2.5 is now feature-complete. We wanted to release a public beta this week, but unfortunately we weren’t able to run the today’s build through our usual round of QA, so we aren’t sure if its quality is good enough to be called a public beta. Because of that, we’re publishing it as a regular EAP build, and we’ll decide whether to publish it to a wider audience based on more QA testing and on the feedback from you, the EAP users. So please do let us know about any problems you’ve encountered, and if you run into something major, rest assured that we’ll release a fixed build as soon as we can.
As usual, you can download the new build from the EAP page, and check the complete release notes.
Today we’ve released a new EAP build of PyCharm 2.1, build 116.49. The new build contains a number of bugfixes and improvements both in the new features added in version 2.1 and in the core Python support components.
And tomorrow, the entire PyCharm development team (Dmitry J., Dmitry T., Catherine, Andrey and Yulia) is flying to the US to participate in PyCon. We’ll have a booth there, we plan to give a lightning talk showcasing PyCharm, and we’re also staying for two days of sprints — so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to talk to us and maybe even hack together on a fun open-source project. See you in Santa Clara!
We’re happy to announce the availability of the first Early Access Preview build for PyCharm 2.1. As was previously announced, the big theme of this release is “Package and environment management”, and a lot of functionality that we planned to implement for this theme is already done.
The main new features of PyCharm 2.1 include:
PyCharm 2.1 also includes all of the changes in the IntelliJ Platform version 11.1, such as Subversion 1.7 support and a new round of work on UI cleanup. The final release is planned for late March or early April.
Download the Early Access Preview build today and tell us what you think!
