View runs in split mode in PyCharm

Question

I'm running Python, zmq code for a server and a client. I would like to see the runs(console messages) in a side-by-side mode (split mode) for better analysis of the interaction between the two. It has the "split" mode between "Run" and "Terminal" and others but could not find split mode within the Runs category. Were you able to see multiple runs in a side-by-side mode? Is there any plugin or other way make it work?

Answer 1

Have you tried just running two copies of the PyCharm application at the same time with a run window in each application. I was able to do this for my application and just put the windows side by side on the monitor. In my case I'm running a web site so having two copies running side by sides doesn't make much sense but it does work by setting the port number to be different in the two running instances.
