PyCharm import external library - python

I am using PyCharm as an editor for python code in Houdini. Whenever I try to import the main Houdini library (hou) I get an error flagged in PyCharm. If I include the code snippet:-
try:
import hou
except ImportError:
# Add $HFS/houdini/python2.6libs to sys.path so Python can find the
# hou module.
sys.path.append(os.environ['HFS'] + "/houdini/python%d.%dlibs" % sys.version_info[:2])
import hou
my code executes, without problem, from both Houdini and my selected interpreter.
My problem is with PyCharm itself. The editor flags 'import hou' as an error and any subsequent files that import this file flag modules imported by this file as errors as well. Hence I loose type ahead functionality and get an over abundance of error messages that make it hard to spot the real problems.
How do I get PyCharm to recognize the path to the hou module.
I have tried, for a couple of days, to Google a solution to this problem but they all seem to refer to tabs and settings that are not in my version of PyCharm (Community Edition 3.4.1). E.G. my 'Project Interpreter' setting only has a list of Packages and has no 'path' tab as stated in many 'fixes' to closely related problems.

Since PyCharm 3.4 the path tab in the 'Project Interpreter' settings has been replaced. In order to add paths to a project you need to select the cogwheel, click on 'More...' and then select the "Show path for the selected interpreter" icon. This allows you to add paths to your project as before.
My project is now behaving as I would expect.

Answer for PyCharm 2016.1 on OSX:
(This is an update to the answer by #GeorgeWilliams993's answer above, but I don't have the rep yet to make comments.)
Go to Pycharm menu --> Preferences --> Project: (projectname) --> Project Interpreter
At the top is a popup for "Project Interpreter," and to the right of it is a button with ellipses (...) - click on this button for a different popup and choose "More" (or, as it turns out, click on the main popup and choose "Show All").
This shows a list of interpreters, with one selected. At the bottom of the screen are a set of tools... pick the rightmost one:
Now you should see all the paths pycharm is searching to find imports, and you can use the "+" button at the bottom to add a new path.
I think the most significant difference from #GeorgeWilliams993's answer is that the gear button has been replaced by a set of ellipses. That threw me off.

Update (2018-01-06): This answer is obsolete. Modern versions of PyCharm provide Paths via Settings ⇨ Project Interpreter ⇨ ⚙ ⇨ Show All ⇨ Show paths button.
PyCharm Professional Edition has the Paths tab in Python Interpreters settings, but Community Edition apparently doesn't have it.
As a workaround, you can create a symlink for your imported library under your project's root.
For example:
myproject
mypackage
__init__.py
third_party -> /some/other/directory/third_party

updated on May 26-2018
If the external library is in a folder that is under the project then
File -> Settings -> Project -> Project structure -> select the folder and Mark as Sources!
If not, add content root, and do similar things.

In my case, the correct menu path was:
File > Default settings > Project Interpreter

I wanted to add an import path, for another project elsewhere in my workspace.
MacOS Catalina 10.15.5
PyCharm Community 2020.1.1
PyCharm - Preferences - Project interpreter - Cog symbol - Show All
At the bottom of that dialog, it shows 5 buttons:
Plus, Minus, Pencil, Funnel, and Directory tree.
Click Directory tree. You can now use the Plus button in the new dialog to add your 'external library' search path.
If successful, you should now see the directory name in the "External Libraries" pane in the Project panel.

In order to reference an external library in a project
File -> Settings -> Project -> Project structure -> select the folder and mark as a source

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'core' while PyCharm can run 'core.py' [duplicate]

I am using PyCharm to work on a project. The project is opened and configured with an interpreter, and can run successfully. The remote interpreter paths are mapped properly. This seems to be the correct configuration, but PyCharm is highlighting my valid code with "unresolved reference" errors, even for built-in Python functions. Why don't these seem to be detected, even though the code runs? Is there any way to get PyCharm to recognize these correctly?
This specific instance of the problem is with a remote interpreter, but the problem appears on local interpreters as well.
File | Invalidate Caches... and restarting PyCharm helps.
Dmitry's response didn't work for me.
I got mine working by going to Project Interpreters, Selecting the "Paths" tab, and hitting the refresh button in that submenu. It auto-populated with something called "python-skeletons".
edit: screenshot using PyCharm 3.4.1 (it's quite well hidden)
There are many solutions to this, some more convenient than others, and they don't always work.
Here's all you can try, going from 'quick' to 'annoying':
Do File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart and restart PyCharm.
You could also do this after any of the below methods, just to be sure.
First, check which interpreter you're running: Run -> Edit Configurations -> Configuration -> Python Interpreter.
Refresh the paths of your interpreter:
File -> Settings
Project: [name] -> Project Interpreter -> 'Project Interpreter': Gear icon -> More...
Click the 'Show paths' button (bottom one)
Click the 'Refresh' button (bottom one)
Remove the interpreter and add it again:
File -> Settings
Project: [name] -> Project Interpreter -> 'Project Interpreter': Gear icon -> More...
Click the 'Remove' button
Click the 'Add' button and re-add your interpeter
Delete your project preferences
Delete your project's .idea folder
Close and re-open PyCharm
Open your project from scratch
Delete your PyCharm user preferences (but back them up first).
~/.PyCharm50 on Mac
%homepath%/.PyCharm50 on Windows
Switch to another interpreter, then back again to the one you want.
Create a new virtual environment, and switch to that environments' interpreter.
Create a new virtual environment in a new location -- outside of your project folder -- and switch to that environment's interpreter.
Switch to another interpreter altogether; don't switch back.
If you are using Docker, take note:
Make sure you are using pip3 not pip, especially with remote docker and docker-compose interpreters.
Avoid influencing PYTHONPATH. More info here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/115000058690-Module-not-found-in-PyCharm-but-externally-in-Python .
If the above did not work for you, but you did find another trick, then please leave a comment.
In my case it was the directories structure.
My project looks like this:
+---dir_A
+---dir_B
+app
|
\-run.py
So right click on dir_b > "mark directory as" > "project root"
You have to mark your root directory as:
SOURCE ROOT (red),
and your applications:
EXCLUDED ROOT (blue).
Then the unresolved reference will disappear. If you use PyChram pro it do this for you automatically.
I find myself removing and re-adding the remote interpreter to fix this problem when Invalidating Caches or Refreshing Paths does not work.
I use vagrant and every once and awhile if I add a new VM to my multi-vm setup, the forwarded port changes and this seems to confuse PyCharm when it tries to use the wrong port for SSH. Changing the port doesn't seem to help the broken references.
If none of the other solutions work for you, try (backing up) and deleting your ~/.PyCharm40 folder, then reopening PyCharm. This will kill all your preferences as well.
On Mac you want to delete ~/Library/Caches/Pycharm40 and ~/Library/Preferences/PyCharm40.
And on Windows: C:\Users\$USER.PyCharm40.
Tested with PyCharm 4.0.6 (OSX 10.10.3)
following this steps:
Click PyCharm menu.
Select Project Interpreter.
Select Gear icon.
Select More button.
Select Project Interpreter you are in.
Select Directory Tree button.
Select Reload list of paths.
Problem solved!
Sorry to bump this question, however I have an important update to make.
You may also want to revert your project interpreter to to Python 2.7.6 if you're using any other version than that This worked for me on my Ubuntu installation of PyCharm 4.04 professional after none of the other recommendations solved my problem.
Much simpler action:
File > Settings > Project > Project Interpreter
Select "No interpreter" in the "Project interpreter" list
Apply > Set your python interpreter again > Click Apply
Profit - Pycharm is updating skeletons and everything is fine.
If you want to ignore only some "unresolved reference" errors, you can also tell it PyCharm explicitly by placing this in front of your class/method/function:
# noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences
You might try closing Pycharm, deleting the .idea folder from your project, then starting Pycharm again and recreating the project. This worked for me whereas invalidating cache did not.
I finally got this working after none of the proposed solutions worked for me. I was playing with a django rest framework project and was using a virtualenv I had setup with it. I was able to get Pycharm fixed by marking the root folder as the sources root, but then django's server would throw resolve exceptions. So one would work when the other wouldn't and vice versa.
Ultimately I just had to mark the subfolder as the sources root in pycharm. So my structure was like this
-playground
-env
-playground
That second playground folder is the one I had to mark as the sources root for everything to work as expected. That didn't present any issues for my scenario so it was a workable solution.
Just thought I'd share in case someone else can use it.
It could also be a python version issue. I had to pick the right one to make it work.
None of the answers solved my problem.
What did it for me was switching environments and going back to the same environment. File->Settings->Project interpreter
I am using conda environments.
Mine got resolved by checking inherit global site-packages in PyCharm
File -> Settings -> Project Interpreter -> Add Local Interpreter -> Inherit global site-packages
I closed all the other projects and run my required project in isolation in Pycharm. I created a separate virtualenv from pycharm and added all the required modules in it by using pip. I added this virtual environment in project's interpreter. This solved my problem.
Geeze what a nightmare, my amalgamation of different StackOVerflow answers:
Switch to local interpreter /usr/bin/pythonX.X and apply
View paths like above answer
Find skeletons path. Mine was (/home/tim/Desktop/pycharm-community-2016.2.3/helpers/python-skeletons)
Switch back to virt interpreter and add the skeletons path manually if it didn't automatically show up.
None of the above solutions worked for me!
If you are using virtual environment for your project make sure to apply the python.exe file that is inside your virtual environment directory as interpreter for the project (Alt + Ctrl + Shift + S)
this solved the issue for me.
In my case the inspection error shows up due to a very specific case of python code.
A min function that contains two numpy functions and two list accesses makes my code inspection give this kind of errors.
Removing the 'd=0' line in the following example gives an unresolved reference error as expected, but readding doesn't make the error go away for the code inspector. I can still execute the code without problems afterwards.
import numpy as np
def strange(S, T, U, V):
d = 0
print min(np.abs(S[d]), np.abs(T[d]), U[d], V[d])
Clearing caches and reloading list of paths doesn't work. Only altering the code with one of the following example patches does work:
Another ordering of the 'min' parameters: schematically S U T V but not S T U V or T S U V
Using a method instead of the function: S[d].abs() instead of np.abs(S[d])
Using the built-in abs() function
Adding a number to a parameter of choice: U[d] + 0.
My problem is that Flask-WTF is not resolved by PyCharm. I have tried to re-install and then install or Invalidate Cache and Restart PyCharm, but it's still not working.
Then I came up with this solution and it works perfectly for me.
Open Project Interpreter by Ctrl+Alt+S (Windows) and then click Install (+) a new packgage.
Type the package which is not resolved by PyCharm and then click Install Package. Then click OK.
Now, you'll see your library has been resolved.
In PyCharm 2020.1.4 (Community Edition) on Windows 10 10.0. Under Settings in PyCharm: File > Settings > Project Structure
I made two changes in Project Structure:
main folder marked as source and
odoo folder with all applications I excluded
Screenshot shows what I did.
After that I restarted PyCharm: File > Invalidate Caches / Restart...
Unresolved references error was removed
Invalidating the cache as suggested by other answers did not work for me. What I found to be the problem in my case was that PyCharm was marking init.py files of Python packages as text and thus not including them in the analysis which means python resolving was not working correctly.
The solution for me was to:
Open PyCharm settings
Navigate to Editor -> File Types
Find Python and add __init__.py to the list of python files
or Find Text and delete __init__.py from the list of text files
To add yet another one: None of the solutions involving the Python Interpreter tab helped, however, I noticed I had to set Project Dependencies: In the project that had unresolved reference errors, none of the dependencies were checked. Once I checked them, the relevant errors disappeared. I don't know why some are checked to begin with and others are not.
If you are using vagrant the error can be caused by wrong python interpreter.
In our vagrant we are using pyenv so I had to change Python Interpreter path path from /usr/bin/python to /home/vagrant/.pyenv/versions/vagrant/bin/python
I have a project where one file in src/ imports another file in the same directory. To get PyCharm to recognize I had to to go to File > Settings > Project > Project Structure > select src folder and click "Mark as: Sources"
From https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-folders-within-a-content-root.html
Source roots contain the actual source files and resources. PyCharm uses the source roots as the starting point for resolving imports
I had to go to File->Invalidate Caches/Restart, reboot Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, then open Pycharm and File-> Invalidate Caches/Restart again before it cleared up.
For me it helped:
update your main directory "mark Directory as" -> "source root"
#kelorek works for me, but before, in interpereter paths I had to add some path.
lets say
from geometry_msgs.msg import Twist
is underline as error, then in remote machine in python run:
help("geometry_msgs")
at the end there will be path lets say :
/opt/ros/foxy/lib/python3.8/site-packages/geometry_msgs/__init__.py
so to Your intepreter pycharm path add
/opt/ros/foxy/lib/python3.8/site-packages
Hope it will help You and it helps me :)
I had the same symptoms. In my instance the problem source was that I had set
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=50 in the custom properties.
I could resolve it by setting it to 100.

How to fix: Pytest "Create Test" dialog box won't open in Pycharm

I'm trying to follow the tutorial on jetbrains (link: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/pytest.html) about using pytest in pycharm so I can work on test driven development. I'm stuck at the part where I'm supposed to create a test for a specific function in the Car.py module (found here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/creating-and-running-your-first-python-project.html#) by hitting ctrl+shift+T and then clicking "Create new test...".
Screenshot of the step in the tutorial I'm stuck at.
When I click "Create new test..." nothing happens. The dialog box which is supposed to pop-up does not appear.
I've gone to Settings>Tools>Python Integrated Tools and changed Default test runner to pytest like I'm supposed to. I checked packages in the Project Interpreter and pytest version 5.3.5 is there which I just installed. I restarted pycharm for good measure. Does anyone know why the dialog box might not be appearing? I'm sure there is a more manual approach to making the test file but the built-in pycharm ability to do this quicker/easier is preferable.
Thanks for answering your own question, you have given me an idea for my solution.
For what reason so ever, I was not providing PyCharm a root directory for my project so it was not recognising my files.
I changed it under:
Preferences > Project:"your project name" > Project Structure
It was a silly mistake in my case. I was not opening the proper project folder. Instead I was opening parent folder.
My hierarchy was
E:\Projects\SampleProject
Instead of opening SampleProject in PyCharm, I was opening Projects directory whole.
I think PyCharm will only open this if it recognizes valid structure of the project.
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the Settings window, go to Project <project name> > Project Structure and mark your source folders as Sources (highlighted as blue in my version of PyCharm). Then you should be able to create tests for them.

How to make pycharm resolve reference compiled module in the current project folder

Here is a sample project:
speedup.pyd is a compiled module with one function fast_add().
But pycharm can't resolve references in this compiled module.
I tried make source root, and then add source roots to PYTHONPATH.
also tried add the source folder to Interpreter Paths.
Indeed this option is "hiding" and not easy to find...
Go to PyCharm "Preferences" screen (from the Menu: PyCharm -> Preferences). Then go to: Project -> Project Interpreter, click on the setup "wheel" and choose "More"
Click on the marked icon in the screenshot below (if you'll hover the cursor it'll say: "Show paths for the selected interpreter"):
Then click on the "plus" icon and add the path to your module:
And you should be good to go :)

PyCharm error: 'No Module' when trying to import own module (python script)

I have written a module (a file my_mod.py file residing in the folder my_module).
Currently, I am working in the file cool_script.py that resides in the folder cur_proj. I have opened the folder in PyCharm using File -- open (and I assume, hence, it is a PyCharm project).
In ProjectView (CMD-7), I can see my project cur_proj (in red) and under "External Libraries" I do see my_module. In cool_script.py, I can write
from my_module import my_mod as mm
and PyCharm even makes suggestion for my_mod. So far so good.
However, when I try to run cool_script.py, PyCharm tells me
"No module named my_module"
This seems strange to me, because
A) in the terminal (OS 10.10.2), in python, I can import the module no problem -- there is a corresponding entry in the PYTHONPATH in .bashrc
B) in PyCharm -- Settings -- Project cur_proj -- Project Interpreter -- CogWheel next to python interpreter -- more -- show paths for selected interpreter icon, the paths from PYTHONPATH do appear (as I think they should)
Hence, why do I get the error when I try to run cool_script.py? -- What am I missing?
Notes:
I am not declaring a different / special python version at the top of cool_script.py
I made sure that the path to my_module is correct
I put __init__.py files (empty files) both in my_module and in cur_proj
I am not using virtualenv
Addendum 2015-Feb-25
When I go in PyCharm to Run -- Edit Configurations, for my current project, there are two options that are selected with a check mark: "Add content roots to PYTHONPATH" and "Add source roots to PYTHONPATH". When I have both unchecked, I can load my module.
So it works now -- but why?
Further questions emerged:
What are "content roots" and what are "source roots"? And why does adding something to the PYTHONPATH make it somehow break?
should I uncheck both of those options all the time (so also in the defaults, not only the project specific configurations (left panel of the Run/Debug Configurations dialog)?
If your own module is in the same path, you need mark the path as Sources Root. In the project explorer, right-click on the directory that you want import. Then select Mark Directory As and select Sources Root.
So if you go to
-> Setting -> Project:My_project -> Project Structure,
Just the directory in which the source code is available and mark it as "Sources" (You can see it on the same window). The directory with source code should turn blue. Now u can import in modules residing in same directory.
PyCharm Community/Professional 2018.2.1
I was having this problem just now and I was able to solve it in sort of a similar way that #Beatriz Fonseca and #Julie pointed out.
If you go to File -> Settings -> Project: YourProjectName -> Project Structure, you'll have a directory layout of the project you're currently working in. You'll have to go through your directories and label them as being either the Source directory for all your Source files, or as a Resource folder for files that are strictly for importing.
You'll also want to make sure that you place __init__.py files within your resource directories, or really anywhere that you want to import from, and it'll work perfectly fine.
What I tried is to source the location where my files are.
e.g. E:\git_projects\My_project\__init__.py is my location.
I went to File -> Setting -> Project:My_project -> Project Structure and added the content root to about mention place E:\git_projects\My_project
it worked for me.
Always mark as source root the directory ABOVE the import!
So if the structure is
parent_folder/src/module.py
you must put something like:
from src.module import function_inside_module
and have parent_folder marked as "source folder" in PyCharm
I was getting the error with "Add source roots to PYTHONPATH" as well. My problem was that I had two folders with the same name, like project/subproject1/thing/src and project/subproject2/thing/src and I had both of them marked as source root. When I renamed one of the "thing" folders to "thing1" (any unique name), it worked.
Maybe if PyCharm automatically adds selected source roots, it doesn't use the full path and hence mixes up folders with the same name.
my_module is a folder not a module and you can't import a folder, try moving my_mod.py to the same folder as the cool_script.py and then doimport my_mod as mm. This is because python only looks in the current directory and sys.path, and so wont find my_mod.py unless it's in the same directory
Or you can look here for an answer telling you how to import from other directories.
As to your other questions, I do not know as I do not use PyCharm.
The key confusing step that must be done is to recreate the run configuration for the source file that you're trying to execute, so that the IDE picks up the new paths.
The way that actually worked for me was to go to Run/Edit Configurations..., select the configuration for the file that you're trying to run on the left side, uncheck the "Add source roots to PYTHONPATH" box, save, and then go back and check the box and save. THEN it would work.
This can be caused when Python interpreter can't find your code. You have to mention explicitly to Python to find your code in this location.
To do so:
Go to your python console
Add sys.path.extend(['your module location']) to Python console.
In your case:
Go to your python console,
On the start, write the following code:
import sys
sys.path.extend([my module URI location])
Once you have written this statement you can run following command:
from mymodule import functions
The solution for this problem without having to Mark Directory as Source Root is to Edit Run Configurations and in Execution select the option "Redirect input from" and choose script you want to run. This works because it is then treated as if the script was run interactively in this directory. However Python will still mark the module name with an error "no module named x":
When the interpreter executes the import statement, it searches for x.py in a list of directories assembled from the following sources:
The directory from which the input script was run or the current directory if the interpreter is being run interactively
The list of directories contained in the PYTHONPATH environment variable, if it is set.
An installation-dependent list of directories configured at the time Python is installed, in my case usr/lib/python3.6 on Ubuntu.
Content roots are folders holding your project code while source roots are defined as same too. The only difference i came to understand was that the code in source roots is built before the code in the content root.
Unchecking them wouldn't affect the runtime till the point you're not making separate modules in your package which are manually connected to Django. That means if any of your files do not hold the 'from django import...' or any of the function isn't called via django, unchecking these 2 options will result in a malfunction.
Update - the problem only arises when using Virtual Environmanet, and only when controlling the project via the provided terminal. Cause the terminal still works via the default system pyhtonpath and not the virtual env. while the python django control panel works fine.
PyCharm 2021.2.4 -- March 4th, 2022
Solved it by marking the source directory as "Source". Accomplished it by
right clicking on the source directory in the Project structure on the left of the IDE. I had a code source named src/.
navigate to "Mark Directory as".
select "Source" as directory type.
In short,
src -> Mark Directory as -> Source
This can occur if you are running a python file with the same name as one of its parent directories and try to import another
e.g.
Say you have files
my_project/processing/method1/processing.py
my_project/processing/algorithms/predict.py
And in processing.py you do something like:
from my_project.processing.algorithms.predict import Predict
it will throw the error
ln -s . someProject
If you have someDirectory/someProjectDir and two files, file1.py and file2.py, and file1.py tries to import with this line
from someProjectDir import file2
It won't work, even if you have designated the someProjectDir as a source directory, and even if it shows in preferences, project, project structure menu as a content root. The only way it will work is by linking the project as show above (unix command, works in mac, not sure of use or syntax for Windows).
There seems some mechanism where Pycharm does this automatically either in checkout from version control or adding as context root, since the soft link was created by Pycharm in a dependent project. Hence, just copying the same, although the weird replication of directory is annoying and necessity is perplexing. Also in the dependency where auto created, it doesn't show as new directory under version control. Perhaps comparison of .idea files will reveal more.
try installing the missing modules using the "terminal" on pycharm
python -m pip install your-module
Pycharm 2017.1.1
Click on View->ToolBar & View->Tool Buttons
On the left pane Project would be visible, right click on it and
press Autoscroll to source
and then run your code.
This worked for me.
The answer that worked for me was indeed what OP mentions in his 2015 update: uncheck these two boxes in your Python run config:
"Add content roots to PYTHONPATH"
"Add source roots to PYTHONPATH"
I already had the run config set to use the proper venv, so PyCharm doing additional work to add things to the path was not necessary. Instead it was causing errors.

You may also want to revert your project interpreter to to Python 2.7.6 if you're using any other version than that This worked for me on my Ubuntu installation of PyCharm 4.04 professional after none of the other recommendations solved my problem.
Much simpler action:
File > Settings > Project > Project Interpreter
Select "No interpreter" in the "Project interpreter" list
Apply > Set your python interpreter again > Click Apply
Profit - Pycharm is updating skeletons and everything is fine.
If you want to ignore only some "unresolved reference" errors, you can also tell it PyCharm explicitly by placing this in front of your class/method/function:
# noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences
You might try closing Pycharm, deleting the .idea folder from your project, then starting Pycharm again and recreating the project. This worked for me whereas invalidating cache did not.
I finally got this working after none of the proposed solutions worked for me. I was playing with a django rest framework project and was using a virtualenv I had setup with it. I was able to get Pycharm fixed by marking the root folder as the sources root, but then django's server would throw resolve exceptions. So one would work when the other wouldn't and vice versa.
Ultimately I just had to mark the subfolder as the sources root in pycharm. So my structure was like this
-playground
-env
-playground
That second playground folder is the one I had to mark as the sources root for everything to work as expected. That didn't present any issues for my scenario so it was a workable solution.
Just thought I'd share in case someone else can use it.
It could also be a python version issue. I had to pick the right one to make it work.
None of the answers solved my problem.
What did it for me was switching environments and going back to the same environment. File->Settings->Project interpreter
I am using conda environments.
Mine got resolved by checking inherit global site-packages in PyCharm
File -> Settings -> Project Interpreter -> Add Local Interpreter -> Inherit global site-packages
I closed all the other projects and run my required project in isolation in Pycharm. I created a separate virtualenv from pycharm and added all the required modules in it by using pip. I added this virtual environment in project's interpreter. This solved my problem.
Geeze what a nightmare, my amalgamation of different StackOVerflow answers:
Switch to local interpreter /usr/bin/pythonX.X and apply
View paths like above answer
Find skeletons path. Mine was (/home/tim/Desktop/pycharm-community-2016.2.3/helpers/python-skeletons)
Switch back to virt interpreter and add the skeletons path manually if it didn't automatically show up.
None of the above solutions worked for me!
If you are using virtual environment for your project make sure to apply the python.exe file that is inside your virtual environment directory as interpreter for the project (Alt + Ctrl + Shift + S)
this solved the issue for me.
In my case the inspection error shows up due to a very specific case of python code.
A min function that contains two numpy functions and two list accesses makes my code inspection give this kind of errors.
Removing the 'd=0' line in the following example gives an unresolved reference error as expected, but readding doesn't make the error go away for the code inspector. I can still execute the code without problems afterwards.
import numpy as np
def strange(S, T, U, V):
d = 0
print min(np.abs(S[d]), np.abs(T[d]), U[d], V[d])
Clearing caches and reloading list of paths doesn't work. Only altering the code with one of the following example patches does work:
Another ordering of the 'min' parameters: schematically S U T V but not S T U V or T S U V
Using a method instead of the function: S[d].abs() instead of np.abs(S[d])
Using the built-in abs() function
Adding a number to a parameter of choice: U[d] + 0.
My problem is that Flask-WTF is not resolved by PyCharm. I have tried to re-install and then install or Invalidate Cache and Restart PyCharm, but it's still not working.
Then I came up with this solution and it works perfectly for me.
Open Project Interpreter by Ctrl+Alt+S (Windows) and then click Install (+) a new packgage.
Type the package which is not resolved by PyCharm and then click Install Package. Then click OK.
Now, you'll see your library has been resolved.
In PyCharm 2020.1.4 (Community Edition) on Windows 10 10.0. Under Settings in PyCharm: File > Settings > Project Structure
I made two changes in Project Structure:
main folder marked as source and
odoo folder with all applications I excluded
Screenshot shows what I did.
After that I restarted PyCharm: File > Invalidate Caches / Restart...
Unresolved references error was removed
Invalidating the cache as suggested by other answers did not work for me. What I found to be the problem in my case was that PyCharm was marking init.py files of Python packages as text and thus not including them in the analysis which means python resolving was not working correctly.
The solution for me was to:
Open PyCharm settings
Navigate to Editor -> File Types
Find Python and add __init__.py to the list of python files
or Find Text and delete __init__.py from the list of text files
To add yet another one: None of the solutions involving the Python Interpreter tab helped, however, I noticed I had to set Project Dependencies: In the project that had unresolved reference errors, none of the dependencies were checked. Once I checked them, the relevant errors disappeared. I don't know why some are checked to begin with and others are not.
If you are using vagrant the error can be caused by wrong python interpreter.
In our vagrant we are using pyenv so I had to change Python Interpreter path path from /usr/bin/python to /home/vagrant/.pyenv/versions/vagrant/bin/python
I have a project where one file in src/ imports another file in the same directory. To get PyCharm to recognize I had to to go to File > Settings > Project > Project Structure > select src folder and click "Mark as: Sources"
From https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-folders-within-a-content-root.html
Source roots contain the actual source files and resources. PyCharm uses the source roots as the starting point for resolving imports
I had to go to File->Invalidate Caches/Restart, reboot Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, then open Pycharm and File-> Invalidate Caches/Restart again before it cleared up.
For me it helped:
update your main directory "mark Directory as" -> "source root"
#kelorek works for me, but before, in interpereter paths I had to add some path.
lets say
from geometry_msgs.msg import Twist
is underline as error, then in remote machine in python run:
help("geometry_msgs")
at the end there will be path lets say :
/opt/ros/foxy/lib/python3.8/site-packages/geometry_msgs/__init__.py
so to Your intepreter pycharm path add
/opt/ros/foxy/lib/python3.8/site-packages
Hope it will help You and it helps me :)
I had the same symptoms. In my instance the problem source was that I had set
idea.max.intellisense.filesize=50 in the custom properties.
I could resolve it by setting it to 100.
