We had mentioned before that the main theme of this release is package and environment management.

With the remote interpreters feature this release removes the local computer boundaries and allows you to easily run and debug your applications on remote hosts from PyCharm. The features we’ve added with regards to setup.py, packages installation and verification should make your work little easier and you can spend more time coding. And of course there’s a bunch of general improvements in IDE UI, performance and other aspects.

Today’s build, PyCharm 117.86, fixes the major issues, along with a couple more bugs.

As always, we are looking forward to your feedback!

Second, PyCharm 2.5 is now feature-complete. We wanted to release a public beta this week, but unfortunately we weren’t able to run the today’s build through our usual round of QA, so we aren’t sure if its quality is good enough to be called a public beta. Because of that, we’re publishing it as a regular EAP build, and we’ll decide whether to publish it to a wider audience based on more QA testing and on the feedback from you, the EAP users. So please do let us know about any problems you’ve encountered, and if you run into something major, rest assured that we’ll release a fixed build as soon as we can.

As usual, you can download the new build from the EAP page, and check the complete release notes.

And tomorrow, the entire PyCharm development team (Dmitry J., Dmitry T., Catherine, Andrey and Yulia) is flying to the US to participate in PyCon. We’ll have a booth there, we plan to give a lightning talk showcasing PyCharm, and we’re also staying for two days of sprints — so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to talk to us and maybe even hack together on a fun open-source project. See you in Santa Clara!

The main new features of PyCharm 2.1 include:

• Remote interpreters – full integration with Python interpreters running on remote hosts;
• Possibility to browse and install packages from PyPI;
• Better virtualenv integration, including the possibility to create virtualenvs;
• UI for creating setup.py files and running setup.py tasks;
• Packaging-aware inspections and quickfixes, such as this quickfix on unresolved imports that automatically installs the package you’re trying to import.

PyCharm 2.1 also includes all of the changes in the IntelliJ Platform version 11.1, such as Subversion 1.7 support and a new round of work on UI cleanup. The final release is planned for late March or early April.
