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).
Works With: 

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
