I'm having trouble with using 'requests' module on my Mac. I use python34 and I installed 'requests' module via pip. I can verify this via running installation again and it'll show me that module is already installed.
15:49:29|mymac [~]:pip install requests
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): requests in /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/site-packages
Although I can import 'requests' module via interactive Python interpreter, trying to execute 'import requests' in PyCharm yields error 'No module named requests'. I checked my PyCharm Python interpreter settings and (I believe) it's set to same python34 as used in my environment. However, I can't see 'requests' module listed in PyCharm either.
It's obvious that I'm missing something here. Can you guys advise where should I look or what should I fix in order to get this module working? I was living under impression that when I install module via pip in my environment, PyCharm will detect these changes. However, it seems something is broken on my side ...
In my case, using a pre-existing virtualenv did not work in the editor - all modules were marked as unresolved reference (running naturally works, as this is outside of the editor's config, just running an external process (not so easy for debugging)).
Turns out PyCharm did not add the site-packages directory... the fix is to manually add it.
On Pycharm professional 2022.3
Open File -> Settings -> Python Interpreter, open the drop-down and pick "Show All..." (to edit the config) (1), right click your interpreter (2), click "Show Interpreter Paths" (3).
In that screen, manually add the "site-packages" directory of the virtual environment [looks like .../venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages (4) (I've added the "Lib" also, for a good measure); once done and saved, they will turn up in the interpreter paths.
The other thing that won't hurt to do is select "Associate this virtual environment with the current project", in the interpreter's edit box.
If you are using PyCharms CE (Community Edition), then click on:
File->Default Settings->Project Interpreter
See the + sign at the bottom, click on it. It will open another dialog with a host of modules available. Select your package (e.g. requests) and PyCharm will do the rest.
This issue arises when the package you're using was installed outside of the environment (Anaconda or virtualenv, for example). In order to have PyCharm recognize packages installed outside of your particular environment, execute the following steps:
Go to
Preferences -> Project -> Project Interpreter -> 3 dots -> Show All ->
Select relevant interpreter -> click on tree icon Show paths for the selected interpreter
Now check what paths are available and add the path that points to the package installation directory outside of your environment to the interpreter paths.
To find a package location use:
$ pip show gym
Name: gym
Version: 0.13.0
Summary: The OpenAI Gym: A toolkit for developing and comparing your reinforcement learning agents.
Home-page: https://github.com/openai/gym
Author: OpenAI
Author-email: gym#openai.com
License: UNKNOWN
Location: /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
...
Add the path specified under Location to the interpreter paths, here
/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages
Then, let indexing finish and perhaps additionally reopen your project.
Open python console of your pyCharm. Click on Rerun.
It will say something like following on the very first line
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py 52631 52632
in this scenario pyCharm is using following interpretor
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7
Now fire up console and run following command
sudo /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 -m pip install <name of the package>
This should install your package :)
Pycharm is unable to recognize installed local modules, since python interpreter selected is wrong. It should be the one, where your pip packages are installed i.e. virtual environment.
I had installed packages via pip in Windows. In Pycharm, they were neither detected nor any other Python interpreter was being shown (only python 3.6 is installed on my system).
I restarted the IDE. Now I was able to see python interpreter created in my virtual environment. Select that python interpreter and all your packages will be shown and detected. Enjoy!
Using dual python 2.7 and 3.4 with 2.7 as default, I've always used pip3 to install modules for the 3.4 interpreter, and pip to install modules for the 2.7 interpreter.
Try this:
pip3 install requests
This is because you have not selected two options while creating your project:-
** inherit global site packages
** make available to all projects
Now you need to create a new project and don't forget to tick these two options while selecting project interpreter.
The solution is easy (PyCharm 2021.2.3 Community Edition).
I'm on Windows but the user interface should be the same.
In the project tree, open External libraries > Python interpreter > venv > pyvenv.cfg.
Then change:
include-system-site-packages = false
to:
include-system-site-packages = true
Before going further, I want to point out how to configure a Python interpreter in PyCharm: [SO]: How to install Python using the "embeddable zip file" (#CristiFati's answer). Although the question is for Win, and has some particularities, configuring PyCharm is generic enough and should apply to any situation (with minor changes).
There are multiple possible reasons for this behavior.
1. Python instance mismatch
Happens when there are multiple Python instances (installed, VEnvs, Conda, custom built, ...) on a machine. Users think they're using one particular instance (with a set of properties (installed packages)), but in fact they are using another (with different properties), hence the confusion. It's harder to figure out things when the 2 instances have the same version (and somehow similar locations)
Happens mostly due to environmental configuration (whichever path comes 1st in ${PATH}, aliases (on Nix), ...)
It's not PyCharm specific (meaning that it's more generic, also happens outside it), but a typical PyCharm related example is different console interpreter and project interpreter, leading to confusion
The fix is to specify full paths (and pay attention to them) when using tools like Python, PIP, .... Check [SO]: How to install a package for a specific Python version on Windows 10? (#CristiFati's answer) for more details
This is precisely the reason why this question exists. There are 2 Python versions involved:
Project interpreter: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4
Interpreter having the Requests module: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4
well, assuming the 2 paths are not somehow related (SymLinked), but in latest OSX versions that I had the chance to check (Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey) this doesn't happen (by default)
When dealing with this kind of error, it always helps (most likely) displaying the following information (in a script or interpreter console):
import os
import sys
print(sys.executable)
print(sys.version)
print(os.getcwd())
print(getattr(os, "uname", lambda: None)())
print(sys.path)
2. Python's module search mechanism misunderstanding
According to [Python.Docs]: Modules - The Module Search Path:
When a module named spam is imported, the interpreter first searches for a built-in module with that name. These module names are listed in sys.builtin_module_names. If not found, it then searches for a file named spam.py in a list of directories given by the variable sys.path. sys.path is initialized from these locations:
The directory containing the input script (or the current directory when no file is specified).
PYTHONPATH (a list of directory names, with the same syntax as the shell variable PATH).
The installation-dependent default (by convention including a site-packages directory, handled by the site module).
A module might be located in the current dir, or its path might be added to ${PYTHONPATH}. That could trick users into making them believe that the module is actually installed in the current Python instance ('s site-packages). But, when running the current Python instance from a different dir (or with different ${PYTHONPATH}) the module would be missing, yielding lots of headaches
For a fix, check [SO]: How PyCharm imports differently than system command prompt (Windows) (#CristiFati's answer)
3. A PyCharm bug
Not very likely, but it could happen. An example (not related to this question): [SO]: PyCharm 2019.2 not showing Traceback on Exception (#CristiFati's answer)
To fix, follow one of the options from the above URL
4. A glitch
Not likely, but mentioning anyway. Due to some cause (e.g.: HW / SW failure), the system ended up in an inconsistent state, yielding all kinds of strange behaviors
Possible fixes:
Restart PyCharm
Restart the machine
Recreate the project (remove the .idea dir from the project)
Reset PyCharm settings: from menu select File -> Manage IDE Settings -> Restore Default Settings.... Check [JetBrains]: Configuring PyCharm settings or [JetBrains.IntelliJ-Support]: Changing IDE default directories used for config, plugins, and caches storage for more details
Reinstall PyCharm
Needless to say that the last 2 options should only be attempted as a last resort, and only by experts, as they might mess up other projects and not even fix the problem
Not directly related to the question, but posting:
[SO]: Run / Debug a Django application's UnitTests from the mouse right click context menu in PyCharm Community Edition? (a PyCharm related investigation from a while ago)
[SO]: ImportError: No module named win32com.client (#CristiFati's answer)
If you go to pycharm project interpreter -> clicked on one of the installed packages then hover -> you will see where pycharm is installing the packages. This is where you are supposed to have your package installed.
Now if you did sudo -H pip3 install <package>
pip3 installs it to different directory which is /usr/local/lib/site-packages
since it is different directory from what pycharm knows hence your package is not showing in pycharm.
Solution: just install the package using pycharm by going to File->Settings->Project->Project Interpreter -> click on (+) and search the package you want to install and just click ok.
-> you will be prompted package successfully installed and you will see it pycharm.
If any one faces the same problem that he/she installs the python packages but the PyCharm IDE doesn't shows these packages then following the following steps:
Go to the project in the left side of the PyCharm IDE then
Click on the venv library then
Open the pyvenv.cfg file in any editor then
Change this piece of code (include-system-site-packages = flase) from false to true
Then save it and close it and also close then pycharm then
Open PyCharm again and your problem is solved.
Thanks
This did my head in as well, and turns out, the only thing I needed to do is RESTART Pycharm. Sometimes after you've installed the pip, you can't load it into your project, even if the pip shows as installed in your Settings. Bummer.
For Anaconda:
Start Anaconda Navigator -> Enviroments -> "Your_Enviroment" -> Update Index -> Restart IDE.
Solved it for me.
After pip installing everything I needed. I went to the interpreter and re-pointed it back to where it was at already.
My case: python3.6 in /anaconda3/bin/python using virtualenv...
Additionally, before I hit the plus "+" sign to install a new package. I had to deselect the conda icon to the right of it. Seems like it would be the opposite, but only then did it recognize the packages I had/needed via query.
In my case the packages were installed via setup.py + easy_install, and the they ends up in *.egg directories in site_package dir, which can be recognized by python but not pycharm.
I removed them all then reinstalled with pip install and it works after that, luckily the project I was working on came up with a requirements.txt file, so the command for it was:
pip install -r ./requirement.txt
I just ran into this issue in a brand new install/project, but I'm using the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. It's essentially the same as PyCharm but the project settings are a little different. For me, the project was pointing to the right Python virtual environment but not even built-in modules were being recognized.
It turns out the SDK classpath was empty. I added paths for venv/lib/python3.8 and venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages and the issue was resolved. File->Project Structure and under Platform Settings, click SDKs, select your Python SDK, and make sure the class paths are there.
pip install --user discord
above command solves my problem, just use the "--user" flag
I fixed my particular issue by installing directly to the interpreter. Go to settings and hit the "+" below the in-use interpreter then search for the package and install. I believe I'm having the issue in the first place because I didn't set up with my interpreter correctly with my venv (not exactly sure, but this fixed it).
I was having issues with djangorestframework-simplejwt because it was the first package I hadn't installed to this interpreter from previous projects before starting the current one, but should work for any other package that isn't showing as imported. To reiterate though I think this is a workaround that doesn't solve the setup issue causing this.
If you are having issues with the underlying (i.e. pycharm's languge server) mark everything as root and create a new project. See details: https://stackoverflow.com/a/73418320/1601580 this seems to happy to me only when I install packages as in editable mode with pip (i.e. pip install -e . or conda develop).

if using Pycharm GUI package installer works fine for installing packages for your virtual environment but you cannot do the same in the terminal,
this is because you did not setup virtual env in your terminal, instead, your terminal uses Power Shell which doesn't use your virtual env
there should be (venv) before you're command line as shown instead of (PS)
if you have (PS), this means your terminal is using Power Shell instead of cmd
to fix this, click on the down arrow and select the command prompt
select command prompt
now you will get (venv) and just type pip install #package name# and the package will be added to your virtual environment
On windows I had to cd into the venv folder and then cd into the scripts folder, then pip install module started to work
cd venv
cd scripts
pip install module
instead of running pip install in the terminal -> local use terminal -> command prompt

I'm trying to import a package called "termcolor" that can run on VSC. I know the import is working because when I run the program from my mac terminal it executes fine. However, when I run from VSC, I get the ImportError "no module named termcolor".
I know it has been installed in the my virtual environment where I am building the program:
Kaylas-iMac:Ermes Marana rahme$ source "/Users/rahme/Desktop/Programming/Python/Ermes Marana/env/bin/activate"
(env) Kaylas-iMac:Ermes Marana rahme$ python3 -m pip install termcolor
Requirement already satisfied: termcolor in ./env/lib/python3.7/site-packages (1.1.0)
And I think I'm importing from the correct path. I saw in another post to use sys.path.append() to explicitly look for packages in the correct path, so I tried that. Here is my code:
import sys
sys.path.append('users/Rahme/Desktop/Programming/Python/Ermes\ Marana/env/lib/python3.7/site-packages')
import termcolor
print(termcolor.colored(text = "I'm Rahme", color ="red", on_color="on_grey"))
sys had a warning about the space in the directory /Ermes\ Marana and suggested adding an r to the backslash which I did and nothing changed. What am I doing wrong?
How can I install packages on VSC in the future so that I can use the built in run in terminal?
Just because you switched to your virtual environment in the mac terminal doesn't mean that the VSC terminal is operating in that virtual environment. To get VSC to know you want it to run in your environment, you need to hit ctrl+shift+p to pull up the command pallette. Then you type python: select interpreter. You will get a list of all the virtual environments that VSCode can see and you just select your environment from that list. Once you do that, VSC should operate fine inside your environment.
try
sys.path.append(r'users/Rahme/Desktop/Programming/Python/Ermes/
Marana/env/lib/python3.7/site-packages')
What is the purpose of the space?
Edit: keep the space if it is part of the folderpath
Please do see the r I have added infront of the folderpath

When running my script thought the activated env (python script.py) it works fine and produces no errors.
But when i try to run the same script in PyCharm 4 it does not work. I have the virtualenv as intrepeter selected. When running the script i get an error as follows:
/Users/pgerrits/.virtualenvs/siebelaudit/bin/python3.4 -u /Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydev_run_in_console.py 64420 64421 /Users/pgerrits/PycharmProjects/SiebelAudit/Audit/Siebel Audit/scratchpad.py
Running /Users/pgerrits/PycharmProjects/SiebelAudit/Audit/Siebel Audit/scratchpad.py
PyDev console: starting.
ImportError: dlopen(/Users/pgerrits/.virtualenvs/siebelaudit/lib/python3.4/site-packages/cx_Oracle.so, 2): Library not loaded: /ade/b/3071542110/oracle/rdbms/lib/libclntsh.dylib.11.1
Referenced from: /Users/pgerrits/.virtualenvs/siebelaudit/lib/python3.4/site-packages/cx_Oracle.so
Reason: image not found
When running the same script with the same command in the terminal with the env activated, i get no error.
I already tried the following:
- Added ENV variables for oracle_home, etc using a script
- added env variables using the pycharm env variables option
It is really annoying that i have to switch to my mac terminal for running and debugging. Has anyone a clue what could be the issue here?
I had to set the environment variables for ORACLE_HOME
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
and restart PyCharm to get cx_Oracle to work.
This is a known issue of PyCharm. The only way is to create virtualenv using PyCharm. If you create with virtualenvwrpper, there's a chance that PyCharm won't recognize it.
import os
import platform
if platform.system() == 'Darwin':
os.environ["ORACLE_HOME"] = '/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2'
os.environ["DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = '/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2'
os.environ["LD_LIBRARY_PATH"] = '/opt/oracle/instantclient_11_2'
I installed bottle on Python 3.4 with pip install. In the terminal, when I do:
$ python3.4
>>>import bottle # shows no import error
>>>
but when I do it in PyCharm, it says:
import bottle ImportError: No module named 'bottle'
in your PyCharm project:
press Ctrl+Alt+s to open the settings
on the left column, select Project Interpreter
on the top right there is a list of python binaries found on your system, pick the right one
eventually click the + button to install additional python modules
validate
In some cases no "No module ..." can appear even on local files. In such cases you just need to mark appropriate directories as "source directories":
The settings are changed for PyCharm 5+.
Go to File > Default Settings
In left sidebar, click Default Project > Project Interpreter
At bottom of window, click + to install or - to uninstall.
If we click +, a new window opens where we can decrease the results by entering the package name/keyword.
Install the package.
Go to File > Invalidate caches/restart and click Invalidate and Restart to apply changes and restart PyCharm.
Settings:
Install package:
I am using Ubuntu 16.04. For me, it was the incorrect interpreter, which was by default using the virtual interpreter from the project.
So, make sure you select the correct one, as the pip install will install the package to the system Python interpreter.
PyCharm 2019.3, my solution is below:
For me, none of the above worked, and curiously even within one file some imports worked, some didn't:
from folder1.folder2.folder3.my_python_file import this_function # worked
from folder1.folder2.folder3.my_python_file import that_function # didn't work
Follow the above advice, but if it doesn't fix it additionally, (in PyCharm) click File >> Repair IDE and confirm all the 6 steps one after another.
I had virtual env site package problem and this solved it:
In the case where you are able to import the module when using the CLI interpreter but not in PyCharm, make sure your project interpreter in PyCharm is set to an actual interpreter (eg. /usr/bin/python2.7) and not venv (~/PycharmProject/venv/...)
I had the same problem, I tried all fixes like installing from the project interpreter and installing from python console, nothing worked. What worked was just going to the project folder from the terminal and installing it from there.
