Does it support multi-selection, Sublime style? I just can't use an editor without it anymore.

This is a bit OT, but Komodo got an update some days ago with multi-selection support, which I was quite excited to try. Only to find out their implementation is quite frankly useless.

'Right-click in the editor and choose "Select --> Multiple Selection --> Add", then use Ctrl+Click (Cmd+Click on Mac) to quickly make additional selections.'

Does this mean that the PHP, Ruby, and Obj-C versions will be seeing community editions soon as well?

They provide an edition comparison matrix[1] that mentions the only languages supported in the open-source version are: Java, Scala, Groovy, Clojure, XML, XSD, DTD and Regular Expressions. So unfortunately not. They do offer free open source project licenses though if you're working on an opensource project, or even 50% off of commercial licenses to startups. http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/editions_comparison…

And yet this thread is about the Python open source version, missing in the list

No, this is very unlikely. (JetBrains CTO here, by the way.)

Hey dude, you rock,your products are awesome! just wanted to say thanks.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, that's the line I read as well, but nothing in my mail. So i was wondering if someone did receive that update by mail, or if it's just too early.

What exactly do you expect to get in your mail? Just install the new version and import the settings from the previous one, and it'll work with your current license.

Ok, cool.. I read this line wrong apparently : "PyCharm license includes the initial 1-year upgrade subscription qualifying you for the receipt of the new product releases and technical support (available via email only) free of charge"

Didn't realize the "via email only" concerned the support only. (non-native english speaker here).

Totally understandable. I would rather JetBrains do well than be greedy and demanding a "free" version.

"young team" != "young people" A "young team" can also mean a team that has not been together for very long.

Yes, but that's not the most likely interpretation. Teams are new, people are young. Of course, it's possible that "new" was meant, but it's a lot more likely that they were describing the attractions of the people on the team, not the organization's friendly newness.

The link that you provided is for IntelliJ and not for the separate products that the GP is referring to (AppCode for ObjC, RubyMine for Ruby and PhpStorm for PHP).

Is it a multi-language editor? I.e. can I switch between html, javascript and python and expect to have a similar interface, commands, API, etc. ? If so, it looks like a strong contender against Sublime IMHO.

Excuse me if I'm being naive, but does Python development need an IDE? In what ways could it be helpful? I'm under the impression that Python is not compiled generally. I'm coming from the Ruby point of view

I've tried a lot of IDE's for python development in the past and always went back to a basic text editor; the extra features never outweighed the bloat. But then i found PyCharm and never looked back. I feel i develop at least 50% faster with any serious project; i still use Sublime for the one-off scripts, but everything else i find the introspection, code completion and refactoring just so good its now hard to go w…

See my question above. You don't need your 2.7 to tell you anything. If you've got a license you can simply install the 3, import the settings and use the same license.

Their paid version is. At this point, the community version seems to be Python only.
