Tips for the installation of PyCharm
====================================

Setting the interpreter
-----------------------
* The Python interpreter must be set correctly, in:
    File > Settings > Python > Interpreter

  For our Bachelor and Master students, I would recommend to use a "Local
  Interpreter", and point to the WinPython "python.exe" file.

Snippets
--------

* Go to File > Settings > Editor > Live Templates
* Add a new group, with your name or with the name "User"
* Add a new template, with the following settings:
  > Abbreviation: `py_head`
  > Description: `Python file header`
  > Go back to "Template text", and add:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
""" $title$ """

# author:   Thomas Haslwanter

# date:     $DATE$

# Import the standard packages

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pandas as pd

def func_name:
    """
    Parameters
    ----------

    Returns
    -------
    """
    
    return
    
    
if __name__ == '__main__':
    $END$
-----------------------------------------------------------------
  > Go to "Edit Variables", and add the following variables (Name / Expression):
    i)  title   fileName()
    ii) DATE    date()
  > Set "Applicable in 'Change'": Python


Templates
---------

* Could be set in  File > Settings > Editor > File and Code Templates
* But I leave that empty, because I prefer to use the Templates above.
