Debugger, remote REPL, virtualenv and git integration and management, database interface (also for redis/mongo etc), unit test configurations and integrated runners, auto-linting, deployment tools and of course intelligent autocomplete... in the last EAP apparently they are introducing semantic coloring, which is going to be very fun.

All good points... just to add, PyCharm has a type hinting system (which informed the 3.5 Type Hints design), which knows the expected types for stdlib functions, and can be taught the types of user-defined function arguments. It'll then warn you if it thinks you are passing the wrong type of argument to a function.

Obviously not infallible, but it catches time-wasters not infrequently.
