I've been playing with the community edition of JetBrains ItelliJ IDEA since it came out, and I really like it; however, a lot of plugins seem to require the ultimate edition (or at least I think they do because of the com.intellij.modules.ultimate dependency). Is there a python plugin that doesn't require the ultimate edition? I'm developing django applications, so support for templates would be nice, but this isn't a requirement.

A:
There will be no Python support for the Community Edition, at least not from JetBrains.
At the moment you can use PyCharm which is based on IDEA platform and provides a subset of IDEA features. It's a free preview and will have an affordable price when released.

Thanks for the info. Hopefully, IntelliJ will get a bigger community for the Community Edition (similar to what eclipse has already). As the community gains popularity, I'm sure there will be more tools created for the Community Edition, including python support. I guess I can't be too picky being an early adopter, and it's free.
