0:00 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.
0:32 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.
