PyCharm IDE Integration

Secure your Python development directly in the PyCharm integrated development environment (IDE). Sonatype’s integration connects your Python projects to powerful component intelligence, helping you identify and manage risk earlier in the software development life cycle (SDLC).

Streamline Secure Development

Visualize how Sonatype connects to your development workflow in PyCharm. When working on a Python project, the integration automatically surfaces component intelligence — including license information and security vulnerabilities — directly within the PyCharm IDE.

PyCharm + Sonatype Nexus Repository
