pycharm: removed the license blurb, the community edition is fully functional python environment and has no timebomb any more
=== pycharm ===
[http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/ PyCharm] is more powerful and out-of-the-box than Eclipse with pydev, although it is not Free Software like Eclipse is. Seems to be recognizing more Python syntax and feels faster on my box. I unpacked the distribution, launched bin/pycharm.sh script, and it just worked. 'File » Open Directory' and selected the "trunkGramps/src" directory in my local checked out Git WD, and things work from there.
'Version Control » Update Project' automatically syncs up with the Git repository.
 
Some free software projects qualify for a Jetbrains free pycharm usage licences. We have applied for one to use in Gramps development, and currently Gramps has been awarded such a license -- as a consequence of the Gramps distribution terms (GPL). Here's what you should do to get a copy ('''and use it for Gramps development only, not for other work, under this license!'''), according to [[User:Bmcage|Benny]]:
1/ be a gramps developer with commit rights to our repository
2/ write [[User:BACbKA|Vassilii]] with your sourceforge login name and ask him for the license key
3/ keep the license private. We do OSS software so I assume we are all against software piracy.
If you don't have commit rights, you can still use pycharm for 30 day trial period.
