Issue
The problem
I have a few projects in PyCharm, each with its own virtual environment.
Quite often, I add packages to these virtual environments using the CLI, mainly with python setup.py develop from another local package.
The new package appear in Preferences -> Project -> Project Interpreter and the calls to the newly-installed packages runs, but the imports still appear as erroneous, which drives me nuts:
What have I tried
- Changing the virtual environment to a different one, than switching back, hoping it would reload. Did not work.
- Restarting PyCharm. Works, but it's fairly slow, so I don't consider it a solution.
How do I refresh the virtual environment
Solution
For PyCharm 2018.3.4, I solved this by verifying that the correct source locations are specified under File/Settings/Project::Project Structure. All of the valid source directories should be marked as "Sources" and the venv directory should marked as Excluded, at least that's what worked for me.
