Summary

In this chapter, we learned a lot about managing the several interpreters, both local and remote, as well as taking advantage of PyCharm's top class support for code completion in the console. If you're curious about why code completion is better in the console than in the editor, it's because PyCharm knows the types of every single variable that you're using. Please note, however, that should you close PyCharm with the console open; the next time you open PyCharm, the console will launch too. This is totally fine for local interpreters, but should you configure a remote interpreter, launching PyCharm can take a pretty long time.
