I use IntelliJ 12 #IU-123.72 in a secured environment i.e, cannot directly install plugins.
The installation looks for plugins under C:\Users\username.IntelliJIdea12\config\plugins I have a downloaded version of the python plugin as a zip and I unzip the contents in the plugins folder.
This does not however bring the python plugin on board. File -> Settings -> Plugins does not show python.
What am I missing?
