Answer 1

Go in File --> Default Settings, click console , Uncheck Use IPython, if available

then go in File --> Settings, uncheck Use IPython, if available

Default Settings and Settings are two different options in File menu so make sure to follow both

i am using PyCharm version 3.4 and after doing both the above processes i do not get IPython Console.

Answer 2

I am using PyCharm Community Edition 2017.1.3 on CentOS 7.2. To disable the use of Ipython for current project. Go to File-->Settings-->Build, Execution, Deployment-->Console, uncheck the box Use Ipython if available.

Then close the current python console window and open it again or Rerun it. You should see that plain python is used. In my case, there is no need to restart Pycharm for this change to take effect.

Also, if you want to use Ipython instead of plain Python, do the opposite.
