Python has a rich ecosystem of quality, mature tooling: linters, formatters, type checkers, etc. Each of these has decent performance, but what if the tooling was fast? Like, really fast – as in, instantaneous? This is the argument posed by Charlie Marsh when he introduced Ruff: a linter with the…

PyCharm is working hard on Python developer experience (DX). There’s a project with a very promising DX boost using “hot reloading”: Reloadium. It really speeds up turnaround time on working with your code, and with the PyCharm plugin, brings fresh new ideas to running, debugging, and profiling. …

Read an interview with Adam Symington, author of the PythonMaps project, concerning geospatial data visualization and the Python tools used in it.

Ever thought about publishing technology videos on YouTube but don’t really know where to start or how to get followers? This Thursday we are hosting Nelson Jamal to cover this very topic. Nelson has a broad catalog of popular, well-done videos -- including JetBrains products -- and went from 5k sub…

Developing in Python is the dream job of many developers out there. According to the latest survey from StackOverflow, Python is the second most 'loved' language, and the 'most wanted' one. Now, imagine working for a Python software house where you have the opportunity to be part of many different p…

I've long been a big fan of pydantic by the prolific Samuel Colvin. In 2018, the package added support for dataclasses by providing its own decorator which "creates (almost) vanilla python dataclasses with input data parsing and validation." Alas, the "almost" was a sticking poin…

In the past few years, Python has made a big push into data science and PyCharm has as well. Years ago we added Jupyter Notebook integration, then 2017.3 introduced Scientific Mode for workflows that felt more like an IDE. In 2019.1 we re-invented our Jupyter support to also be more like a professio…

JetBrains IDEs have a lot that’s “integrated” into the “development environment.” At some times, it seems daunting: there’s an infinity of features, with useful new things to learn at every corner. At other times, though, there’s something missing, something unique to what you do or how you do it. …

Python has long distinguished itself with a culture of testing. In the last decade, two libraries have combined to give powerful testing in isolation -- pytest and tox. The latter combines easily with pytest to give you a clean environment across test runs, including across multiple versions of Pyth…

Python’s combination of power and simplicity has long been one of its key selling points. This includes its data model. Luciano Ramalho, who is our guest presenter for the next webinar, recently wrote about this in Fluent Python, an O’Reilly book widely considered one of the best recent books on Pyt…

In this interview with Robert Raposa and Ned Batchelder, software architects at edX, we’re going to look under the hood of the edX project, where more than 95% of the entire codebase is in Python. Robert is a core contributor to the Open edX LMS and Studio products, as well as their supporting infra…

In this interview with Swapnil Kulkarni, a Solutions Architect at Opcito Technologies where he contributes to different OS initiatives, we’re going to look under the hood of the OpenStack project, where more than 95% of the entire codebase is in Python. Swapnil is a long-time core contributor to a f…
