So far, we have only looked at the settings of PyCharm. In this section, we will go beyond the welcome window and settings tabs to create a new PyCharm project from scratch. To create a new Python project within PyCharm, simply choose the corresponding option in the welcome window, as shown here:

After choosing this option, the process of creating a PyCharm project will start. This process consists of multiple distinct steps, each of which specifies important customizations for the project we are creating.

Additionally, note that all the code and project structures that have been generated during the discussions in this book can be found in this book's GitHub repository at github.com/PacktPublishing/Hands-on-Application-Development-with-PyCharm.

It is encouraged that you follow along with the discussions and create the projects within your own PyCharm, but if you wish to use the source code as a reference, you are welcome to do so. In fact, if you successfully download the source code from GitHub, you can then import it into PyCharm as an actual project. More details on the GitHub repository can be found in the Getting the source code from GitHub section of this chapter.
