[FIXED] Console speed: PyCharm vs Spyder

Issue

I have installed both PyCharm and Spyder (from Anaconda2).

However, when I run the exact same code (printing a very large array) from the python console, the console opened from Spyder printed out the array in less than five seconds, whereas the console opened from PyCharm took one minute to process and then printed the array.

I am wondering what is the reason for the difference in "processing time"? I like the auto-complete feature of PyCharm, but from my experience, it is slower than Spyder. Is there a solution?

Solution

(Spyder maintainer here) To avoid this problem in Spyder we only allow 500 lines to be shown in the console at a time (Note: This limit is configurable by the user)

So I'd say Pycharm's console doesn't have this functionality (although I can't tell that for sure).
