PyCharm takes you to the source code within the editor for any variables/functions/classes/modules if you ctrl+click on what you want to see. It allows you to browse the relevant bits of code quickly, as well as let you change them in your local environment if need be.
That way you don't have to download the source separately, you can just use it as a normal dependency. But if you want to view the source of a project in isolation I imagine any common editor will suffice. Personally I'll tend to look where the source is hosted (GitHub, GitLab etc) instead of downloading it. But I can understand why some may not trust this.
