I am looking for a piece of code Python code that would give me the path to IntelliJ IDEA or PyCharm exe if they are installed.
Usually, I would want to detect the same for Eclipse but it seems that Eclipse doesn’t have an installer 🙁

The installation path is stored in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA\<build number>\(Default)(replace IntelliJ IDEA with PyCharm if you need the PyCharm installation path)
You can use the _winreg module to read the registry and retrieve the path.
