Hi everyone, I am part of the Fedora Workstation working group and and one application I would love to have included and easily available for the workstation is PyCharm (http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/). It is probably the best Python IDE available currently and thus can be a great tool for python developers on our platform. Especially with the rising importance of OpenStack I would love it if the Fedora Workstation would be able to offer this application. It also supports GTK3 module imports so it is a also great choice for desktop Python development.
Despite being a Python IDE it is written in Java, so I am asking if there are any volunteers on this list willing to help with packaging it. I exchanged some emails with Stanislav Ochonicky and Mikolaj Izdebski and they suggested I send an email to this list requesting volunteers.
There are some licensing challenges with PyCharm as can be seen in this bug tracker : http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-11008
But Stanislav had a quick look and it seems we should have most of the libraries covered already: javahelp - Fedora has javahelp2 oromatcher - Fedora has jakarta-oro sqljet - packaged in Fedora svnkit - packaged in Fedora
Mikolaj has offered to help, but he doesn't want to be the sole maintainer, so I am hoping to get some more volunteers here. Myself and Kalev Lember are also both available to help anyway we can, and if someone is willing to work with us on the core packaging we can handle creating appdata files etc., for PyCharm.
Sincerely, Christian Schaller

Is PyCharm based on IntelliJ ?
See http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/intellij-idea.git/ for the old IntelliJ package that used to be in fedora. It was retired due to lack of interest in maintaining it, but it might be a good (if outdated) starting point if you wanted to build a PyCharm package.

I build a RPM package for myself a while back based on the spec in the repository. I will take a look at and see if this is suitable for re-review
