PyCharm's autocomplete isn't working for installed libraries. I have the following code:
from boto.emr.connection import EmrConnection
conn = EmrConnection(aws_keys.access_key_id, aws_keys.secret_key)
I want the editor to tell me what methods I have available to me when I press Ctrl+Space.
The boto library is installed in my environment, but it doesn't seem to be detected by PyCharm. How can I set this up correctly?
You've installed the 3rd-party library into a virtualenv, but PyCharm doesn't know about that by default. If nothing is specified, it will choose the system Python install as the interpreter. You need to go into the project settings and configure the interpreter to point at the virtualenv. PyCharm will then index the interpreter and allow you to autocomplete.
The virtualenv may be auto-detected in the dropdown menu on the left. If it is not, click the gear to the right, click "Add local", and select /path/to/virtualenv/bin/python (or \Path\to\virtualenv\Scripts\python.exe on Windows).
The above answer didn't work for me, because I wasn't able to find any project related setting in my setting,and the python Interpreter was empty.
The solution was to delete .idea file, from project root, close Pychram then go to project directory and open it with Pycharm:
$pycharm-professional or $pycharm-professional .
when it lunch a pop up window on the bottom right will appear and as you the following
select configure python interpreter then a new window must appear:
chose to use Pipenv as your interpreter or any other solution that is for your case.
Now the Project setting should appear again in Pycharm setting, and the recommendation must be already working.
I have this weird error I keep getting when I open projects from GitHub. I get this error : "no Python interpreter is selected". And when I go to settings, I don't even find "Project interpreter". It's like PyCharm doesn't recognize my project. I have two python versions 3.8 and 3.9 and they show up both when I create a new project but when I open a ready project I don't get to select any of them.
Project interpreter is missing
You can search for your interpreter (python.exe) by going to add under interpreter if it is not displayed there.
1) Open Interpreter Settings
2) Select Interpreter
I'm learning Python through a youtube tutorial and took a break of over a month to deal with life. When I returned and tried to run a program I created along with the instructor in Pycharm (Community 2020.2.1) it gives me this error in the console:
Error:Cannot run program
"/home/user/PycharmProjects/HelloWorld/venv/bin/python" (in directory
"/home/user/PycharmProjects/HelloWorld"): error=2, No such file or
directory
Except I can browse to /home/user/PycharmProjects/HelloWorld/venv/bin/, and see the "python" file. Running the file by double-clicking on it returns the following error in Pycharm:
Cannot find file
'/home/user/PycharmProjects/HelloWorld/venv/bin/python'
When I go to create a new project, the New Project window does not list any interpreter. Is that my issue?
I've tried reinstalling Pycharm and multiple solutions from Stack and other resources without success. I had no issues with Pycharm at all in July. If it matters; this is the Pycharm that's available in the Linux Mint 19.3 Software Manager.
How can I fix this? Why would taking a break cause this issue?
I've just faced the same issue after I upgraded my macOS to Catalina. In a nutshell, you need to restore broken links in venv and the simplest way to do this is to recreate the Python virtual environment for your project.
Here's my step-by-step solution:
In PyCharm go to PyCharm > Preferences... > Project > Python Interpreter
Click on the settings icon on the right upper corner then select "Show All..." in the dropdown menu. "Python Interpreters" window should appear.
Click on the "-" button on the bottom (it shows "Remove" as a hint). Click OK.
Now you should see <No interpreter> on the right side of "Python Interpreter".
Open a terminal. Go to your project folder, find and remove venv subfolder.
Return to PyCharm. Open the same window (PyCharm > Preferences... > Project > Python Interpreter).
Click on the settings icon on the right upper corner then select "Add.." in the dropdown menu. "Add Python Interpreter" window should appear.
Select "New environment", select the correct location (where the removed venv folder was located), select the correct Base interpreter and check "Inherit global site-packages" if your project requires it.
Profit!
Worked for me with PyCharm 2020.2.2 Community Edition.
I have made an application using Django in pycharmIDE.after completing my project I deleted python from my machine and re-installed now when I run my application it shows
No Python at 'C:\Users\Raisan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\python.exe'
how can I set python interpreter in Pycharm
In order to set Python interpreter in a PyCharm project, you should click on:
File -> Settings -> Project -> Project Interpreter
Then, on the top of the window, you should have a dropdown selection with Project Interpreter label. Here you can choose the project interpreter for your project.
If the interpreter is not present, click on the settings icon (gear wheel) on the right anc choose "Add".
Then choose "Existing enviroment" and navigate througth your directories until you will find your Interpreter.
Remember that you have to select the python.exe file.
Please set environment variable and try it otherwise uninstall python and and reinstall it but that time select custom python install and choose appropriate options like IDEdevelopment environment pip etc.
I'm trying to learn Python and decided to use PyCharm. When I try to start a new project I get a dialog that says "No Python interpreter selected". It has a drop down to select a interpreter, but the drop down is empty.
Your problem probably is that you haven't installed python. Meaning that, if you are using Windows, you have not downloaded the installer for Windows, that you can find on the official Python website.
In case you have, chances are that PyCharm cannot find your Python installation because its not in the default location, which is usually C:\Python27 or C:\Python33 (for me at least).
So, if you have installed Python and it still gives this error, then there can be two things that have happened:
You use a virtualenv and that virtualenv has been deleted or the filepath changed. In this case, you will have to find proceed to the next part of this answer.
Your python installation is not in its default place, in which case you will need to find its location, and locate the python.exe file.
Once you have located the necessary binaries, you will need to tell PyCharm were to look:
Open your settings dialogue CTRL + ALT + S
Then you will need to type in interpreter in the search box:
As you can see above, you will need to go to Project Interpreter and then go to Python Interpreter. The location has been selected for you in the above image.
To the side you will see a couple of options as icons, click the big + icon, then click on local, because your interpreter is on this computer.
This will open up a dialogue box. Make sure to select the python.exe file of that directory, do not give pycharm the whole directory. It just wants the interpreter.
Go to File->Settings->Project Settings->Project Interpreter->Python Interpreters
There will be a "+" sign on the right side. Navigate to your python binary, PyCharm will figure out the rest.
This situation occurred to me when I uninstalled a method and tried to reinstall it. My very same interpreter, which worked before, suddenly stopped working. And this error occurred.
I tried restarting my PC, reinstalling Pycharm, invalidating caches, nothing worked.
Then I went here to reinstall the interpreter:
https://www.python.org/downloads/
When you install it, there's an option to fix the python.exe interpreter. Click that. My IDE went back to normal working conditions.
During the install of python make sure you have "Install for all users" selected.
Uninstall python and do a custom install and check "Install for all users".
Even I got the same issue and my mistake was that I didn't download python MSI file. You will get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Once you download the msi, run the setup and that will solve the problem. After that you can go to File->Settings->Project Settings->Project Interpreter->Python Interpreters
and select the python.exe file. (This file will be available at c:\Python34)
Select the python.exe file. That's it.
for mac I can tell you that first you have to check your path
by executing this command
which python or which python3
then you have to configure it in your pycharm.
pycharm-->preferences-->gear button-->add..
click on system interpreter--> then on ...
then you search where your python version is installed
once it is done then you have to configure for your project
click on edit configuration
then choose the python interpreter
If you are using Ubuntu, Python has already been downloaded on your PC.
so, go to -> ctrl + alt + s -> search interpreter -> go to project interpreter than select Python 3.6 in the dropdown menu.
Edit: If there is no Python interpreter in drop-down menu, you should click the gear icon that on the right of the drop-down menu --> add --> select an interpreter.
(on PyCharm 2018.2.4 Community Edition)
I got the same issue when i newly installed pycharm in my windows 10 machine.

install this solved my problem.

In my case, there are several interpreters, but I have to manually add them.
To the right of where you see "No Interpreters", there is a gear icon. Click the gear icon -> Click "Add...", then you can add the ones you need.
In Linux, it was solved by opening PyCharm from the terminal and leaving it open. After that, I was able to choose the correct interpreter in preferences. In my case, linked to a virtual environment (venv).
You don't have Python Interpreter installed on your machine whereas Pycharm is looking for a Python interpreter, just go to https://www.python.org/downloads/
and download python and then create a new project, you'll be all set!
I had the same problem and stumbled onto this solution.
I ran PyCharm (as administrator, though not sure if necessary).
After PyCharm has completely loaded (green tick mark top right), see bottom right. Click on it.
An interface will open. In my case the path was already there. I just clicked OK and all was fine.
closed PyCharm and ran it again normally. Still all fine.
I has to close PyCharm, delete the .idea folder then open PyCharm again.
