Above answers are answered partially.

Problem Description: I’ve multiple versions of python installed and Django is installed in one of Python version. There are two issues

• Issue 1: Pycharm has wrong python interpreter. For this the Project Interpreter has to be changed to Python version where Django is installed. Solution: Follow all steps.

• Issue 2: Django isn’t listed as package. For this we need make available the installed python packages in the Pycharm environment. Solution: Follow all steps except step 3.

Solution:
Peform following steps.

1. In preference/settings go to Project > Project Interpreter
2. On right hand side click on settings icon > Add Local
3. Select correct Python version from Base Interpreter
4. Mark the checkbox against Inherit global site-packages and Make available to all projects
5. Click ok

Once this is done in Project Intepreter you will be able to see Django in the Package list.

I got this problem and it stopped my unit tests from running.

I found that PyCharm, during an upgrade, had set my Python Interpreter to one which was in a virtual environment, which I do not use any more for this project. So I set it to my global Python environment in C:Python and everything works like a charm.

I hope this will help someone.

You can make pyCharm recognize it by setting it to use your virtualenv setup that I assume you had it already for the project

STEP 1: open preferences PyCharm > Preferences

STEP 2: Search for interpreter
and on the right window, select your virtual environment to be used in Project Interpreter

STEP 3 (ADDITIONAL): adding your environment to the list if it didn’t show up

1. select show all interpreter, and then on the pop up window, click + icon on the bottom left
   

2. select radio button Existing Environment and select your virtual env, and then check «Make available for all project» if you use the env for other project, and click ok
   

STEP 4: On the preferences window, click apply or straight click the ok button. wait couple second and django variable should be available in your project

Manually adding it as you have done is indeed one way of doing this, but there is a simpler method, and that is by simply telling pycharm that you want to add the src folder as a source root, and then adding the sources root to your python path.

This way, you don’t have to hard code things into your interpreter’s settings:

• Add src as a source content root:

• Then make sure to add add sources to your PYTHONPATH under:

  Preferences ~ Build, Execution, Deployment ~ Console ~ Python Console
  

• Now imports will be resolved:

This way, you can add whatever you want as a source root, and things will simply work. If you unmarked it as a source root however, you will get an error:

After all this don’t forget to restart. In PyCharm menu select: File —> Invalidate Caches / Restart

1. check for __init__.py file in src folder
2. add the src folder as a source root
3. Then make sure to add sources to your PYTHONPATH (see above)
4. in PyCharm menu select: File —> Invalidate Caches —> Restart

If anyone is still looking at this, the accepted answer still works for PyCharm 2016.3 when I tried it. The UI might have changed, but the options are still the same.

ie. Right click on your root folder —> ‘Mark Directory As’ —> Source Root

After testing all workarounds, i suggest you to take a look at Settings -> Project -> project dependencies and re-arrange them.

There are several reasons why this could be happening. Below are several steps that fixes the majority of those cases:

.idea caching issue

Some .idea issue causing the IDE to show error while the code still runs correctly. Solution:

1. close the project and quick PyCharm
2. delete the .idea folder where the project is. note that it is a hidden folder and you might not be aware of its existence in your project directory.
3. start PyCharm and recreate the project

imports relative not to project folder

Relative imports while code root folder is not the same as the project folder. Solution:

1. Find the folder that relative imports require in the project explorer
2. right click and mark it as «Source Root»

Editor not marking init.py as Python but as Text

Which is the most illusive of all the cases. Here, for some reason, PyCharm considers all __init__.py files not to be python files, and thus ignores them during code analysis. To fix this:

1. Open PyCharm settings
2. Navigate to Editor -> File Types
3. Find Python and add __init__.py to the list of python files

or

1. Find Text and delete __init__.py from the list of text files

In my case the problem was I was using Virtual environment which didn’t have access to global site-packages. Thus, the interpreter was not aware of the newly installed packages.

To resolve the issue, just edit or recreate your virtual interpreter and tick the Inherit global site-packages option.

For my case :

Directory0
    ├── Directory1
    │     └── file1.py  
    ├── Directory2
    │     ├── file2.py  

Into file1, I have :

from Directory2 import file2

which trows an «unresolved reference Directory2».

I resolved it by:

• marking the parent directory Directory0 as «Source Root» like said above

AND

• putting my cursor on another line on the file where I had the error so that it takes my modification into account

It is silly but if I don’t do the second action, the error still appears and can make you think that you didn’t resolve the issue by marking the parent directory as Source Root.

The easiest way to fix it is by doing the following in your pyCharm software:

Click on: File > Settings > (Project: your project name) > Project Interpreter >

then click on the «+» icon on the right side to search for the package you want and install it.

Hello @kartik,

I assume you’re using a virtualenv which is located in the same directory as other project files. Python should know exactly that path. So, it’s possibly that Pycharm is using the wrong Interpreter.

Go to Settings -> Project: -> Project Interpreter -> switch to the right path

In the interpreter packages, there should be Django package installed. If not, do it here/in terminal.

Hope it helps!!

Thank you!!
