It does have code folding, auto-complete, auto close parens, etc. My favorite feature, however, is the project structure view. It allows you to view your project as a tree of variables, classes, and functions instead of filesystem directories. It's pretty neat to be honest. The downside, of course, is that Pycharm is a lot heavier than most editors. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
