Has anybody used Pycharm's Scientific project type for data analysis?

Hey, a PM of PyCharm here. Justin case someone will find it useful and relevant. Our team is currently working on a brand new IDE (based on PyCharm) for data scientists. A big part of what we're doing is convenient support for Jupyter notebooks within the IDE. This new IDE is currently under development but already provides the support for notebooks similar to how the native web Jupyter notebooks work – cells and out…

As a daily Jetbrains user it sounds great!

But - no Julia support?

Julia is on the radar. I'd love some time in the future to include it into scope.

Just submitted my application. I use PyCharm and Jupyter on a daily basis.

Spyder is great. With all the complexity of python dev environments (virtual env managers, package managers and then the IDE), it is nice to at least be able to provide users with a well functioning self-contained IDE that just works out of the box.

I couldn't agree more. While I have moved on from Spyder onto Pycharm for many years now, Spyder will always have a soft spot in my heart for being a great first IDE that brought so many great quality-of-life features and replicated and surpassed the MATLAB experience of prototyping and developing code/algorithms in an interactive manner.

Also, I know ccordoba is here on HN. If you read this, know that you have immense respect from me for tirelessly maintaining Spyder for all these years (I started using it in 2009)

Not to be trite, but there is a github repo and the license is MIT. I'd guess it's possible to find the relevant nag code (possibly in its own github commit), strip it out, and recompile. Edit. maybe this is what you're talking about? https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/commit/6b602af50f632cf6...

but why is that even there? I guess that's just another reason to stay with emacs...

Sponsoring/buying things in exchange for kite promotion seems to be their MO - there was quite a bit of noise about the more brazen instances of it a while back when the used existing editor extensions to push their product or telemetry code (see e.g. https://theoutline.com/post/1953/how-a-vc-funded-company-is-... and HN discussions about "kite")

I like spyder a lot for the variable explorer, which makes it feel more like Matlab. However the constant bothering about installing Kite got annoying. Unfortunately there isn't a way to use Kite and have it not constantly annoy you about upgrading to the enterprise edition. If Kite had a no ads plan for like ~ $10 a year it would make a lot more sense to integrate it in spyder.

( Spyder maintainer here ) Kite is completely optional for Spyder. If you don't like it, you can uninstall it and Spyder will continue working without any issues.

Is there an option to not install Kite in the first place?

Can I get the following behavior from Spyder (last time I tried I couldn't find a way) - for some keyboard shortcut like Cmd/Ctrl + Enter: - the shortcut sends the selected code to the terminal (this is possible) - if I hit the shortcut when nothing is selected, the line where the cursor currently is gets sent to the terminal and the cursor moves to the next line of code - if the cursor is at the beginning of a block…

As a sibling points out, I use F9.

I prefer the control enter because I am used to enter to execute, but it is fine.

RStudio has this behaviour by default, I find it very convenient and I haven't been able to replicate it in other environments.

Certainly you can replicate that in Emacs?!

As a professional data scientist and daily user of PyCharm Pro at work, super interested in this. Just signed up! For what it's worth, our team is generally not a huge fan of notebooks, but I get why people like them.

Thank you! Will send all the info within a couple of days.
