Purpose: PyCharm is an IDE built for web, data, and AI/ML professionals.
Python support: PyCharm provides code completion, PEP 8 compliance checks, intelligent refactorings, and inspections for Python.
AI completion: Its AI-powered local code completion can run local LLMs without sending code over the internet.
Development tools: The IDE includes debugging and testing tools, Git and GitHub integration, an integrated terminal, package managers, and Docker integration.
Dependency managers: PyCharm supports Pipenv, conda, virtualenv, and Poetry for project dependencies and interpreters.

Version control: Out-of-the-box version-control support includes Git, GitHub, GitLab, Subversion, Mercurial, and Perforce.
Databases: Database tools support MySQL, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Redis, and other providers.
Security: Remote development connections use end-to-end TLS 1.3 encryption with SSH security and host-fingerprint verification.

Project protection: PyCharm offers Safe Mode preview, trusted-project controls, and a Don't Open option for projects from unknown sources.
