As you might already be aware, PyCharm has best-in-class support for the Django web framework. But did you know that you, too, can support Django simply by buying PyCharm in the next 3 weeks? This year, PyCharm is once again joining the Django Software Foundation (DSF) for their fundraising campaign.
