Now, we could use whatever editor we want but I am a big fan of PyCharm. I think PyCharm strikes a really nice balance of not being too heavyweight
0:10
it's somewhat heavyweight, but it's really not that bad with absolutely supporting proper web applications.
0:17
So, not only does it understand CSS and JavaScript and HTML it knows Python really well and it understands the relationships
0:23
between your CSS files, your static files your Python files that you're working with. It has nice refactoring. All sorts of stuff.

So, we're going to be using PyCharm. You can get the Community Edition which will do most of what you need here.
0:37
It'll basically do everything except for give you any form of support for the Jinja2 stuff or the CSS editing, all right?
0:45
You could still create those files and edit them I'm pretty sure but with the free community edition it won't do auto-complete within them.
0:51
They don't have native support for Responder built in anyway, so that's not a huge shortcoming but it is something to be aware of.
0:58
So we're going to use PyCharm Professional. You can follow along with that. Or use something else if you prefer
1:02
but here's how you can get the same editor that we're using.
