So I have IntelliJ and love it, and have been using the python plugin for a while. But I noticed that they have PyCharm coming out in beta now. I haven't been using pycharm since I just use IntelliJ for everything, but is there a compelling reason to buy pycharm?
A:
PyCharm supports django and Google App Engine. The django support is really nice if you use django.

So does IntelliJ now have any django support at all?

A:
Right now PyCharm is quite a bit farther ahead in terms of functionality compared to the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA 9. Once we start the EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 10, we'll also release a new version of the Python plugin containing all the latest features of PyCharm, but we don't currently plan to backport the new features to the IDEA 9 version of the plugin. So, if you're OK with using EAP builds of IntelliJ IDEA, you shouldn't need to buy a separate license for PyCharm.
