This guide shows how to configure PyCharm to allow parallel execution of multiple Python files, letting you run long‑running scripts such as machine‑learning or web‑crawling tasks without waiting for each to finish, thereby improving development efficiency.

Enable Parallel Run in PyCharm to Execute Multiple Python Scripts Simultaneously

Introduction

The author explains that when running multiple Python scripts in PyCharm, the console normally opens a separate output tab for each script, and that enabling parallel execution can save time during long‑running tasks such as machine learning or web crawling.

How to Enable Parallel Run

In the English interface, locate the top‑right Allow parallel run option and enable it to permit multiple instances. Then open Templates and select the Python file template. After these settings, you can start additional scripts while other code continues to run.

The above screenshot shows the Allow parallel run toggle.

Next, click Templates and choose the Python file template.

After enabling the setting, you can launch another script while the previous one is still running.
