No Python in IDEA community edition #532

Closed donkirkby closed 1 year ago

donkirkby commented 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure I originally used the community edition to create the PyCharm plugin, but I've been using the ultimate edition since JetBrains gave me free licenses to maintain this project.

Recently, I found that new contributors couldn't use the community edition, because it doesn't support the Python plugin.

Try to find a way for new contributors to run the plugin from source. If not, at least update the contributing file, and recommend the 30-day free trial.

OK, now I'm more confused. The feature comparison page says the community edition supports Python, and I just installed it successfully on Ubuntu. Is MacOS different? Maybe they were trying to install the full version of the Python plugin and not the community edition.

I'll have to find someone to try it again on Mac.

I have the latest version of IntelliJ IDEA CE (Build #IC-222.4554.10, built on March 14, 2023) installed on my Mac. There is a compatible version of the Python Community Edition plugin, which was installed together with the Live Coding in Python plugin. Everything works as expected. After configuring the Python SDK, I can run the Live Coding for Python plugin and even test current changes with runIde.

In short, I did not encounter any issues in IDEA.

OK, it sounds like I was the one who got confused by the two different Python plugins.

Thanks for testing that out, @mtkalms. I'll update CONTRIBUTING.md, and close this issue.
