Looking for a PyCharm Alternative for Commercial Use Without VSCode

Have you considered using Zed? It's a solid option with a clean interface that might suit your needs.

You might want to give the PyCharm Community Edition a shot. It’s free and offers a lot of great features, though it lacks some premium capabilities. Still, it can be quite sufficient for many projects!

You can check out VSCodium. It’s basically a free version of VSCode without the Microsoft branding, so it may meet your requirements without the AI tools you want to avoid.

If you’re really looking to avoid commercial licenses, Neovim could be a powerful alternative if you’re comfortable with a bit of a learning curve. It’s lightweight and highly customizable.

Why are you so against VSCode? You don’t have to enable the AI features, and the Python extensions are pretty good. There's not a lot of free options that can match the power of paid editors.
