In addition to a slew of other new debugging features, CLion 2021.2 also supports Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) with its own WSL API, which means that the previously required SSH server within a WSL distribution is no longer necessary. It is also now irrelevant whether WSL is installed from the Microsoft Store or from another user-specified distribution.
Installation instructions and cost model
PyCharm is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux as a paid professional version as well as a free community version to download.
