The beta version of the product was released in July 2010, with the 1.0 arriving 3 months later. Version 2.0 was released on 13 December 2011, version 3.0 was released on 24 September 2013, and version 4.0 was released on November 19, 2014.[3]
PyCharm Community Edition, the open source version of PyCharm, became available on 22 October 2013.[2]

PyCharm Professional Edition is free for open source projects and for some educational uses. There is also an Academic license which is discounted for other educational use.[4]
