How do I use installed packages in PyCharm?

In PyCharm I've added the Python environment /usr/bin/python and GNU Radio works fine outside of PyCharm. However, importing it fails in PyCharm with an undefined reference.

from gnuradio import gr

GNU Radio is located at /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnuradio and I've added it to the PYTHONPATH.

My PYTHONPATH is /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gnuradio.

Solution

  • Adding a Path

    Go into File → Settings → Project Settings → Project Interpreter.

    Then press configure interpreter, and navigate to the "Paths" tab.

    pycharm path tab

    Press the + button in the Paths area. You can put the path to the module you'd like it to recognize.

    But I don't know the path..

    Open the python interpreter where you can import the module.

    >> import gnuradio
>> gnuradio.__file__
"path/to/gnuradio"

    Most commonly you'll have a folder structure like this:

    foobarbaz/
  gnuradio/
    __init__.py
    other_file.py

    You want to add foobarbaz to the path here.
