Windows - Pycharm - Failed to install python packaging tools

In trying to install packages in Pycharm for the Python 3.6 interpreter, I get

Python packaging tools not found. *Install packaging tools*

And when I tried to install it gives me this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 
2017.3.1\helpers\packaging_tool.py", line 2, in <module>
    import traceback
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'traceback'

I'm using Pycharm 2017.3.1 Community Edition

Solution

  • From pycharm,

    goto settings -> project Interpreter

    Click on + button on top right corner and you will get pop-up window of Available packages. Then search for packaging python package.

    Then click on Install package to install the package.
