Does PyCharm support Jinja2?

Question:

A bottle project of mine uses Jinja2. PyCharm does not automatically recognize it and shows such lines as errors. Is there a way to make Jinja2 work?

Answers:

In the pro edition, these template languages:

  • Jinja2
  • Django
  • Mako

are supported. You can configure the template language in the project’s settings:

In Python Template Settings the template langauge is set to Jinja2

The community edition may lack certain template languages.

I think it’s worth to mention that PyCharm Community edition does not support Jinja2, Mako and Django. It’s available only in PyCharm Professional.

See comparison of the two.

From File open Settings and search for python template under Languages & Frameworks Select Python Template Languages from there Click HTML And Select Jinja2 as Template Language.

If you are using .jinja extension instead of .jinja2, it won’t work, templates are not highlighted.

You have to add the file extension to the filetypes section.

  • Preferences > General > Filetypes
  • Scroll to Jinja 2 Template
  • Register new pattern by clicking +, add *.jinja

In community edition, the python template option is not available, so you can simply click on python packages next to the terminal present on the bottom. This will also add Jinja2

I was unable to change my file extension (refactor?) and then did the pip install from my terminal. After, it said the refactoring couldn’t be done, but it did then change the filename. But I can’t tell if jinja2 is working. Will jinja2 ultimately work with the Community Edition if installed right?
