Problems tool window

The Problems tool window displays problems that PyCharm detects in your project using several tabs:

When the design-time code inspection is enabled, this tab lists all code issues found in the current file. The list is updated as you switch between files in the editor.

You can select any problem in the window and press F4 or double-click any problem to jump to the corresponding line in the editor.
