PyCharm 2024 dropped 32-bit ARM support. But 2018.3.7 runs natively on a Raspberry Pi 3/4 running Raspberry Pi OS (32-bit). You can code directly on the Pi without remote SSH.

The graphical debugger lets you set breakpoints, step through code, and evaluate expressions. The key highlight in 2018.3.7 is the – variable values are shown directly next to the code lines, not just in a separate window.

PyCharm Community Edition 2018.3.7 is the final bug-fix update for the 2018.3 release cycle, widely regarded as the go-to version for 32-bit Windows systems

PyCharm Community Edition is the free, open-source version of JetBrains' premier Python IDE. The version, released in early 2019, represents the final, highly refined update to the 2018.3 major release.

The 2018.3.x series introduced several enhancements over previous versions, including faster code completion, better Docker support (in Professional), and refinements to the core editor. Version 2018.3.7 focuses on bug fixes and stability, making it an ideal candidate for evaluating baseline performance without major experimental features.

If you are working on a project that was developed in 2018-2019, using an IDE from the same era ensures compatibility and avoids issues with updated IDEs trying to "fix" older code styles.

While it runs on older hardware, it still requires a decent amount of RAM (4GB+ recommended) and a Java Runtime Environment (usually bundled with the installer).
