I wrote up a #europython recap from last week in Prague.
Lots of discussions around AI, modern Python usage, and #PyCharm.
Also, did you know there are 20 former ice vaults along the main river in town now converted into bars and cafes? Read on to learn more 
.

Hey, @jetbrains your #PyCharm #IDE is not only still broken but breaks on a daily basis, requirng me to always run:
rm $HOME/.config/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2025.1/options/gitlab.xml && rm $HOME/.config/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2025.1/options/github.xml to be able to get anything done!
- Can anyone confirm this also is an issue with #IntelliJIDEA / #intelliJ?
Continued thread
@jetbrains for comparison: this is how it looks like when it's up and running.
- And no, I cannot reproduce it, it's just that #PyCharm randomly decides to garble the credentials and not allow me to change/delete/add them unless I manually remove the settings files!
@jetbrains that #bug where #PyCharm randomly "forgets" the #logins and then requires me to manually yeet $HOME/.config/Jetrains/PyCharm.../options/github.xml & $HOME/.config/Jetrains/PyCharm.../options/gitlab.xml really pisses me off.
#plzfix that issue with your #snap version offered for #UbuntuLTS #Desktop!
Hey @jetbrains, when are you gonna fix the #bug in #PyCharm where it randomly forgets #credentials and I can't just add them but have to delete the entire config files...
FIX YOUR STUFF FFS!
Continued thread
deleting all the past versions' cnfigurations in $HOME/.config/pycharm-community/ and deleting the github.xml & gitlab.xml fixed it for precisely 1 session.
Then #PyCharm was broken again.

@jetbrains this is espechally annoying since it applies not just to #GitHub and #GitLab but also other private servers...
Who at @jetbrains do I have to yell at so their #snap - delivered version of #PyCharm Community Edition doesn't randomly forget login credentials and when I add them in it's stuck on a loading popup to "save credentials"...
- Seriously, this shit hampers #productivity of me at #work and as an individual.
So I recently learned that I need to get away from #PyCharm since #JetBrains has decided to "go AI":
https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/features/ai/
When looking at my other options, I saw that #Spyder (https://www.spyder-ide.org/) looked interesting, then scrolled down and saw that it was funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuckerberg_Initiative), which sounds like something I should avoid.
I'm currently thinking Eric (https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/) might be the way to go. I don't need (or want) anything fancy. I just want a #FOSS #Python #IDE that works well and will keep working without trying to charge me money, sell my data, or accost me with #LLM code vomit.
Are there any better (or different) options? Is there anything good I can install from the package manager on #Debian ?
JetBrainsAI Assistant in PyCharmCode faster with context-aware AI code completion in the editor or in Jupyter notebooks. Generate code, visualize dataframes, have your code explained, get refactoring tips, and more.
The #JetBrains release day goodies keep on coming: #PyCharm is now one unified product, and the free tier (which includes all features of the Community edition) now also includes Jupyter notebooks! 
The JetBrains BlogPyCharm, the Only Python IDE You Need | The PyCharm BlogPyCharm is one powerful, unified product. Its core functionality, including Jupyter notebooks, is free, and a Pro subscription is available with extra features.
PyCharm thinks I have TensorFlow 2.19 installed, but the official TensorFlow site thinks the most recent version is 2.17.
Anyone else having issues with #PyCharm randomly "forgetting" / bricking #logins on #UbuntuLTS Desktop?
The only workaround is to literally delete the configs and manually reenter the credentials, only for those to get fucked up with an update or at random.
- Seriously, why???
Anyone know someone at #JetBrains to report a #PyCharm #issue to?
Basically it's a #softlocking that happens on the #snap version of #PyCharmCommunity / #PyCharmCE that makes it somehow half-forget #credentials like #GitHub, #Gitlab, #Codeberg, #BitBucket, #Gitea, #git etc. and not allowing to just delete & re-add them as the settings saving just becomes unresponsive.
- Mind you this isn't with like dozens of accounts - just one on each platform - and it's not easily fixable (or at least not in a good way by manually yeeting the #XML files for said logins from
$HOME/.config/PyCharmCE****/...and randomly coming back after a few days or weeks.
Whether this also conflicts with #SettingsSync which should only sync #configs, not #credentials (and AFAICT doesn't!) is also a question I can't confidently answer.
- Needless to say it's really annoying, espechally at work and is the main reason I've not considered paying for JetBrains' products as of now!
Burned at least an hour I didn't have trying to get tkinter to run inside PyCharm.
What eventually worked: uninstall the flatpak version of PyCharm that Ubuntu's default "software" app offers and get one directly from JetBrains.
Once again, all computer problems are solved with some variant of "turn it off and back on again".
Anyone at @jetbrains / #JetBrains want to investigate an issue re: #PyCharm loosing #credentials or rather bugging them out at random?
- It applies to #GitHub / @github , #GitLab / @gitlab , #Codeberg / @Codeberg and private #Gitlab Instances...
It really pisses me off...
Continued thread
The fix is just absurd: Just delete the contents of github.xml and gitlab.xmlas stored in $HOME/.config/JetBrains/PyCharmCE2024.2/options/ and reauthing with access token magically unfucks it for some reason...
Anyone else have issues with #PyCharm that result in it refusing to add or remove credentials by basically hanging up on a "saving credentials..." loop that won't stop unless one cancels it and kills the PyCharm process...
Anyone at #JetBrains willing to dive into that issue?
