Jetbrains Pycharm Community Edition 2018.3.7 [2021] Guide

For coding bootcamps and CS101 courses, the classic UI is less distracting. There are no pop-ups for "Try AI Assistant" or "Sign up for DataGrip." The students can focus purely on Python syntax and logic.

| Limitation | Workaround | |------------|-------------| | No Python 3.8+ support | Use a virtual environment with Python 3.7 or lower. | | Git SSH on Windows fails with OpenSSH | Switch to built-in SSH executable or use HTTPS. | | Slow Docker tooling (absent) | Use command-line Docker or Portainer instead. | | Markdown preview not rendering | Install free Markdown plugin from JetBrains plugin repo (still works). | | No remote Jupyter notebooks | Run Jupyter locally and connect via browser, not within IDE. | jetbrains pycharm community edition 2018.3.7
