How do you edit the default `__author__ = name` line in PyCharm

Question

In pycharm, when making a new "Python File" it has some content by default: `__author__ = 'david'`. What I want to do, is changing this default content by the following shebang: ``` #!/usr/bin/env python #-*- coding: utf-8 -*- ``` This way, when opening new python files on pycharm, this content above will already be there. How to do this?

Accepted Answer

In PyCharm, go to Preferences > IDE Settings > File and Code Templates and then click on the Python Script template and change it from the default to whatever you want.

Thanks for the question, I always thought the `__author__ = blah` was annoying but never took the time to learn how to fix it.
