REPL and Django console
Learn about PyCharm’s support for Django development.

Today we want to give you a small review of a new feature in PyCharm – REPL and Django consoles.

On the picture you can see the default console prompt, pretty familiar, isn’t it?
To easily tell input from output, the output messages have light grey background color. (As all other colors, you can configure this in File | Settings | Colors And Fonts).

- On-the-fly syntax check with inspections
- Brace and quotes matching
- Automatic insertion of paired braces and quotes on typing
- Code completion and resolve

That’s all folks! You’ll be able to try this new features in coming PyCharm EAP! Stay tuned!
Develop with pleasure!
