I'm been using VS code and venv for my Django projects and have been able to debug using the tutorial provided by Microsoft here.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/tutorial-django
However, I have now switched to pipenv instead which I activate using the commmand pipenv shell.
When I now run using the Django debug configuration I get an error.
Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable?
Did you forget to activate a virtual environment?
I can't find any resources to guide me on this.
Do I need to change the launch.json file to make it work with pipenv?
you just need to choose an interpreter
in my case, all pipenv interpreters are located in the ~/.virtualenvs folder
here is the screenshot

I was running the Django project without any problems. Until I reinstalled Windows and then reinstalled vscode! Now that I am running the Django project, vscode shows the following error:
Error: no python at C:\Users\AccountName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\python.exe
This might be occurs if the python directory still in the environment variables path list.
First remove python entry from the environment variables path if exists.
Also there will be a chance for virtual environments in your project. If the virtual environment is setup in the uninstalled python version then you will get the same error message.
So, remove the virtual environments which is created under the uninstalled python. It can be done by deleting the virtual environment folder from your system.
Edit pyvenv.cfg
home = C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32
include-system-site-packages = false
version = 3.8.3
When I edited this file after checking the file path on my computer, it worked for me.
Based on the information you provided, it is recommended that you check the Python environment variables.
Since the Windows system is reinstalled, the environment variables are restored to the default settings. Therefore, please add Python environment variables:
Or you can reinstall Python and check the "Add Python 3.8 to PATH" option, which will automatically add Python environment variables.
You could also refer to : Python environment variables.
It's very simple
Delete your dbsqite3 file from your project folder
Open your project in CMD
install virtual environment pip install virtaualenv
virtualenv .
\scripts\activate
python manage.py runserver
and play with your code
you shared.
This works for Pycharm, It did to me
From your projects folder, delete the 3 folders i.e. .ide,venv, and the third folder i think.. do not touch the projects or scripts you created. After wards, go to Pycharm and configure python interpreter again. This will now enable you to run yo scripts now with no prob
make sure to install virtualenv befor install python
check wheather django is installed (if your are using django framework).
pip install django
Bottom Line:
I can get everything to work by configuring two separate virtual environments, one for pyCharm and one for the CLI. Is this really necessary or should I be able to use 1 virtual environment for both as I expected?
More Detailed explanation:
I'm very new so this is probably a facepalm type of question so i'll try to be terse.
I'm using Linux Mint, Python 3.6, django 3.0.3, and pyCharm 2019.3.1.
I can create a virtual env using venv in the cli and it works.
I can also create a NEW virtual env in pyCharm through the settings: Project: Interpreter interface, and it works, however it doesn't have venv as an option, it only has virtualenv.
But if I try to activate the virtual env i created in pyCharm from the cli (using virtualenv of course, not venv), it fails hard and thinks i'm using python 2.7 which isn't even installed on my system. If it try to point pyCharm at the virtual env I setup on the cli, I get an error 134.
Is this just a known/expected issue? Must I have two virtual environments for every project I want to access via both pyCharm AND the cli? And I assume this is unrelated but I also find it odd that pyCharm lists my interpreter as python 3.7, which also is not installed on my system. I'm using 3.6 alone.
Thanks for your time.
At this time, I'm going to just answer this as: you need a separate virtual env for each (pyCharm and CLI) as this approach is not difficult or time-consuming and I have not had any issues working in this way.
I was postponing this question since i am not sure this is the right place to ask it. But i don't find a clear answer either.
I am running pycharm 2018.1.4, on windows and it seems that i can't change the virtual env that running in the terminal in pycharm. When i check the python version in the terminal i get version 2.7.3, for the project interpreter i have python 3.6 and for my run configurations i have the same 3.6 interpreter. There are no problems running the development server or anything like that, just in the terminal i can't run the manage.py script without getting following.
ImportError: Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and
available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you forget to
activate a virtual environment?
I understand the error, i just dont get why it is using that virtuals env instead of the one configured as project interpreter. Anyone else stumbled upon this problem?
As far as i know, Pycharm's terminal is not bound to Project Interpreter and the IDE related features.
To make it work, you'll have to manually activate your virtualenv in the terminal.
It can be due to various reasons,
You can try the following command once the virtualenv is activated
python --version
If it shows python 2.7 as the version then it means in your system you have given python command to respond to the 2.7 version. Its more like a name tag.
Try python3 --version and it should give you back "Python 3.6".
If that's the case, then use python3 manage.py runserver and it should work perfectly
In Pycharm go to project setting,then go to project interpreter make sure that you have your required python virtual environment (which I think you did it already)
Under same selected environment, make sure that you have installed Django
Of course, if there is the dependency on Django, you can just type
pip install django
I have a Django project. I have installed django-extensions from terminal and added django-extensions to installed apps.
In pycharm i have selected the proper venv path for python interpreter
Now in pycharm when I run the server it says django-extension not found. But I can run the server from terminal without any errors.
In pycharm > settings > python interpreter : django-extensions is not shown.
I checked pip list in terminal and it shows django-extension package. Also I can see django-extension folder in site-packages. I am not able to understand what's the problem.
In Pycharm most of the pacakges are shown but only few are not shown
if you are using virtualenv, you need to install it proper way switching off virtualenv by using deactivate
and then installing package to your project therefore pycharm will read it in the project interprter folder
You need to set your project interpreter in pycharm.
It will be at File > settings > project interpreter
In above path you need to select your virtual environment (if not showing then add by clicking on '+' option)and apply then click on OK.
Now it won't show that error message.
1.Check if you are using a good virtual environment
If you have good env click on add icon on right side and add package manual
Sorry, there was no mistake with pycharm.
I have copied a complete virtualenv with my django project.
Later i found that in the /bin/activate
VIRTUAL_ENV="/path/to/original/virtualenv"
is still pointing to the folder from which i copied the project along with the vistualenv.
It should be
VIRTUAL_ENV="/path/to/present/virtualenv"
The packages are getting installed in the original folder. So now everything is working fine
I'm working on a web app and I use Django as framework.
I'm using VS Code on a macOS.
I get an error when I try to import some Django module. This is a screenshot of my code in error.
The error message is the following:
[pylint] E0401:Unable to import 'django.conf.urls'
I too was facing this error while working with Python virtual environments. In my case, it was happening because I have installed Django on my virtual environment and my base environment didn't contain any module named Django.
Base(Global) environment
and when I use the same command inside my virtual environment (myDjangoEnv)
Fix:
Now what I understood is that pylint uses the python interpreter to analyze our code and mark the error while we write the code.
Since I have three python environments in my system, hence three different python interpreters are available to my VS Code.
So if VS code uses the Python interpreter from the base environment, it will not recognize the Django module (import Error). Therefore, you are required to change the Python interpreter to the one present in your virtual environment.
It sounds complicated but it is pretty simple:
Click on the bottom left of the screen to change python interpreter.
Select from the list of available Python interpreters. Make sure you select the appropriate interpreter with respect to the current project.
Follow steps mentioned in the image. For details, or if that doesn't work, read further!!!
If you can't see your interpreter (installed in the virtual environment) listed in the drop-down list OR selecting interpreters listed don't rectify the error.
Then, you have to give the path of your interpreter (installed in venv) to vs code. Because you might have installed Django only in your venv. Happens when you don't use anaconda to create venv.
Steps to rectify-
To check the path, activate venv and type which python in terminal, this will give path. Copy the path.
Click interpreter on lower left, to pull drop-down, as shown in pic above.
Click enter the interpreter path.
Paste path copied.
This will assign the right interpreter and rectify the error.
Locate your project's virtual environment. In my case, I am working on a Django project and my virtual environment is located on the path below:
C:/Users/abc/Desktop/Virutal36/myLab/Scripts/python.exe
Copy the address of your virtual environment.
On VS Code, Select File > Preferences> Settings to open your User Settings (or use the Ctrl+, shortcut).
Create or modify an entry for python.pythonPath with the full path to your virtual environment and you will be good to go. In my case it is:
C:/Users/abc/Desktop/Virutal36/myLab01/Scripts/python.exe
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments#_manually-specify-an-interpreter
Ctrl+Shift+P
Type Python:select interpreter
Now we will get:
Choose Enter interpreter path:
Select Find...
Then
Check correct django version is properly installed and active?
In the active environment, calling this code in python interpreter shouldn't have errors.
from django.conf.urls import url
Check the VS studio python environment
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/environments
You need to select the right environment. So, go to view in tool bar, then select command pallet(ctrl+shift+p), then type "python:select interpreter", then select the right virtual environment where you start you project.
In my case I solved it using the Select Interpreter option from VS Code's Command Palette (Shift + Command + P).
I chose the Python interpreter option which corresponds with the folder in which my virtual environment was and it solved the issue immediately.
Hope it helps :)
Are you using a virtual environment (mkvirtualenv)? In that case you need to make sure you install django and pylint etc., within your virtual environment too, using the following commands.
workon [yourEnvName]
pip install pylint
pip install django
pip install djangorestframework
and so on...for all the modules you want to use.
enter image description here
Choosing a global environment helped me to recover this issue
First check the requirements that you install djangorestframework, second if you work on virtual envs maybe the pylint that you use not check in your virtual env so you can install in local the package.
For me, I opened the nested folder of my Django project. So, Django couldn't find the modules of venv.
Just mentioning, I thought it might be helpful to someone.
