Does Pycharm have Interactive Python Interpreter?

Question

I’m using Pycharm community edition version 2016.1.2 I do the following to get an interactive prompt when debugging

Debug a file (put a breakpoint somewhere you want to work with)
In the debug window, there should be a ‘Console’ tab, select it
On the left tool bar of the console, there is a button 2nd from bottom “Show Python Prompt”. Press it
You should now see an intereractive prompt you can use inside the console (allowing you to interact with the running code)

As mentioned in the OP, to just get an interactive python prompt outside a running script, in the main menu bar select Tools->Python Console

Magically this will appear:
