Running Python Applications with PyCharm
In this chapter, we are going to run a Lambda application with PyCharm. Running Lambda applications via PyCharm is both useful and practical during development as it consists of a code editor, debugger, and common development tools with a developer-friendly graphical user interface. These features of PyCharm help us to easily find bugs in our code.
