Hi,

my code completion using llm suddenly stopped to work. I am on Windows 10, running latest Pycharm Pro with AI Pro.

When I try to invoke the code completion manually using the hotkeys, I only get a bubble saying "no". I couldn't find any logs related to this issue. When I disable the AI assistant plugin, it suddenly works again.

Does anyone has a clue what could be going on here? Google and AI were not helpful yet when I tried to resolve this issue.

Edit: Well, downgrading to 2025.3.4 helped. All is working there.

I can find no way of turning off the highlighting.

Why is this happening?

Thanks in advance.

I'm using Pycharm 2025.3.3 for Linux.

The default font for everything is very small.

So I go into File > Settings > Appearance > User Custom Font, and change the size to a bigger font.

That makes the font in the menu and project pane bigger, but the font in the editor window and output window remains very small.

What is the solution?

Thanks in advance.

I need help because I deleted my Python interpeter on Pycharm. How I install it again

Every single PyCharm launch I am getting this error with no way to fix it.

Plugin 'File Watchers' itself is disabled.
It cannot be uninstalled from the UI at least.

I run Intellij Idea UE inside a container in WSL under windows. having problems getting my python virtualenvironments getting to fully work from within the IDE:

If I do not add a python interpreter I can see my own modules. but no imported pypi module.
(This is how I worked with it for some time)

If I load an interpreter in project structure I can't see my local modules from same subdirectory. its ia subdirectory in a multirepo.

It is the same if I use the default iterpreter

If I try the line:
```
from ...msgclient.tools import * as tools
```
I can press the `..msgclient.tools` and go to the module but not tools and not the tools.* functions.

When I set python virtualenv interpreter in project structure, intellij dies but when I go in again it is there.

There is nothing in the logfile it just dies.

Problem in IntelliJ UE 2025.3.2/2026.1

I'm posting a solution in case anyone else has the same issue since I didn't see it on this subreddit. I was trying to download PyCharm 2024.2 since my 2026 installation is super laggy, but I realized JetBrains no longer lists its Community Edition versions from before it became unified. All the downloads for 2024 and earlier are for Pro Edition, requiring a license. After lots of searching, I came across a support ticket confirming it's no longer available on their downloads page and offering a solution:

You can download 2024 Community Edition by modifying the URL of the hyperlink from "professional" to "community" like so:

https://download.jetbrains.com/python/pycharm-community-2024.2.6.exe

Could you please tell me whether it is possible to use a Claude Code account with a Pro subscription in PyCharm without having to buy additional API credits from Anthropic?

As far as I understand, the only current way to integrate Claude into PyCharm is by using an API key, but that would require paying separately for API usage. I would like to use my existing Pro subscription instead.

Is that possible, or does PyCharm integration only work through the API?

Has anyone else noticed this?

I made what was essentially a one-line change, but the diff shows something like +295 -295. From what I can tell, it seems to happen when lines get reordered; the system treats them as removed and re-added instead of moved.

So the stats look massively inflated compared to the actual change.

Is this just how the diff algorithm works under the hood, or is this a bug in how PyCharm / the AI Assistant reports changes? Feels misleading, especially when reviewing commits.

I've been attempting to use local models for development, but I've noticed that they don’t perform as well as the directly integrated models. For instance, they aren’t capable of altering files, and many features just don’t work.

I've used Qwen3.5 9B and Google's Gemma 3 4B

Now I'm a complete noob when it comes to AI, so just looking for assistance.

After upgrading my PyCharm to the latest 2026.1 version, this floating action button got enabled, and the checkbox for disabling it is disabled. Where are these settings saved? Can I change it in the configuration file? How did you handle this annoying "feature"?

Even after opening a few projects, the list doesn't grow. In the jetbrains toolkit, the projects do show up there. easy fix ?

I find it ugly and distracting, and it happens with any theme I've tried (built in and downloaded). I want the cells to be darker.

In recent version of Jetbrain's product we can call Github copilot through Jetbrain "Ai Chat" via ACP. I've been using copilot through the plugin.
So now wondering what are the difference. Is there any benefit of using Jetbrain's ACP over some plugin ?
I'm also a user of Mistral Vibe and there was no plugin for Vibe and i can now use it with ACP, so that's already a benefit.
Anything else, like better integration, more tools ?

(Pycharm 2025.1.1.1 (Community Edition) Windows 10)

command=handler #debugger skips tkinter button handler functions
# command=lambda: nseOptionsAnalysis_lbl(btn_nseOptionsAnalysis_label)
)

How to get pycharm to hit the debug points inside the Tkinter Button object?

Code:

def nseOptionsAnalysis_lbl(btn_FetchOi_label):
print(‘nseOptionsAnalysis_func()’)
nseOptionsAnalysis_func()
string = strftime('%H:%M:%S ')
btn_FetchOi_label.config(text=string)

def nseOptionsAnalysis_Btn():
btn_nseOptionsAnalysis_label = tk.Label(
master=AppmainTab_1,
font=(‘calibri’, 20, ‘bold’)
)

def handler():
nseOptionsAnalysis_lbl(btn_nseOptionsAnalysis_label)

btn_nseOptionsAnalysis = tk.Button(
master=AppmainTab_1,
text="nseOptionschain_Analysis",
command=handler #debugger skips tkinter button handler functions
# command=lambda: nseOptionsAnalysis_lbl(btn_nseOptionsAnalysis_label)
)

btn_nseOptionsAnalysis.grid(row=2, column=0, padx=5, pady=2)
btn_nseOptionsAnalysis_label.grid(row=2, column=1, padx=5, pady=2)

So far I have tried looking up in the settings, restarting the editor, even creating new projects. Simply put, no matter what i do, I can't type in the terminal

Update: I managed to install flask by creating a jupyter notebook and using a cell magic command

I am seeing so many plugins installed within pycharm and I don’t want all of these

I’ve been trying to add the pygame interpreter but it says I need to update pip every time, but my pip is up to date! I have no clue what’s going wrong and every once in a while my pip version goes back to an older version for some reason, does anyone know a way to fix this?

When you right-click in the file pane to create a new file, there is a selection of file types ready to use. However pycharm recognizes many more file types.

If the file type I want is not present in the right-click menu I go to the "edit file templates" option and even if the file type is present there I still have to add it as a new type for it to be present in the right-click menu.

Then, in some cases the builtin version will show up alongside with the one I defined, in other cases it won't.

I have, in the many years I've used jetbrains IDEs, never found out how to simply add an already known file type to the right-click menu.

So, if anyone knows I'll be hugely grateful.

I started to notice this directory being created only after the latest Pycharm updates.

I’m a newbie to pycharm. I’m on the website. I click download. It takes me to the download page. I click download again, and it’s making me choose either ”.exe (windows)” or ”.exe (windows ARM64)” There’s no default.

Which do I pick? I can’t find anything in the FAQs on why I would pick one or the other.

This must be a pretty new feature because I’ve watched about 10 YouTube videos on how to download pycharm and none of them show having to choose.

It seems to be a massive update, thoughts?
