Summary

Throughout this chapter, we examined PyCharm’s features regarding various aspects of programming, including code analysis, code completion, refactoring, and documenting. In all of these processes, PyCharm’s intelligent code analyzer provides smart and convenient options for editing and fixing problems in your code in real time and in a dynamic way.

Aside from a wide number of options the intelligent code analyzer can support, PyCharm also allows users to customize the behavior of the analyzer to their liking. This can be achieved in various sections of the general settings. Overall, these support features look to improve your productivity as a developer in a way that is customized and beneficial to you.

In the next chapter, we will focus on a particular aspect of programming: version control. We will learn about the specifics of the version control process with Git and how PyCharm supports and streamlines this process.
