PyCharm alternatives

PyCharm is a Python IDE with a debugger, Jupyter, and a free Community edition used in class and at work. It is a poor fit if you need a team plan, audit logs, or a phone number to call. Here are 6 tools on Toolora that do a similar job, 6 of them free or with a free tier, and what each one does differently.
