Hi, I need to block listing for some IDE’s as being supported for [plugin installation](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/25828--log/versions/stable/793213). According to relevant [JB docs](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/plugin-compatibility.html#declaring-incompatibility-with-module) - I’ve set in plugin.xml :

- `<incompatible-with>com.intellij.modules.python</incompatible-with>`  
in order to exclude **PyCharms** - but then as a side effect **IntelliJ Ultimate** gets excluded. So I ended up using `<incompatible-with>PythonCore</incompatible-with>` & `<incompatible-with>Pythonid</incompatible-with>` - in such case plugin is still listed as supported for PyCharms - when trying to install user will get an error the plugin is not supported - which results in bad user experience.
- `<incompatible-with>com.jetbrains.php</incompatible-with>` - didn’t help. plugin is still listed as supported for **PhpStorm**
- `<incompatible-with>com.intellij.modules.ruby</incompatible-with>` - this will result in incompatibility with **IntelliJ Ultimate**. Tried `<incompatible-with>org.jetbrains.plugins.ruby</incompatible-with>` - but likewise, plugin listed as supported for **RubyMine**

IDEs have their own module codes besides plugins. Example for PyCharm community:

```auto
  <incompatible-with>com.intellij.modules.pycharm.community</incompatible-with>

```

For PyCharm:

```auto
  <incompatible-with>com.intellij.modules.pycharm</incompatible-with>

```

Many thanks for the prompt reply Yuriy 🙏 it did the trick 👍  
I’d consider updating the docs.
