How to Fix PyCharm Import Error and Setup Your Interpreter

This will show you how to fix common pycharm import errors when trying to import python modules. Please watch through the entire video as I cover many different reasons why this may be failing for you.
A few reasons why you may be encountering this error are listed below:
- You don't have the package installed and need to install it with pip
- You have multiple version of python and have installed the package into the wrong version
- Pycharm is using the wrong version of python
- Anaconda is conflicting with another python version
- You are using a virtual environment
- You installed python packages into the base environment of anaconda
Most of the errors listed above can simply be fixed by configuring your interpreter which I show how to do in detail in the video.
A list of common import error messages:
- Failed to Import module
- No Moudle named
- Cannot find module
- Could not import module

[@ranbeermalhotra3308]

Thanks a lot Tim! Your slow and steady explanations made me point out the mistake I was making Actually I am not good in the concept of VirtualEnv as I am at school level and I pointed out that all I was creating was new virtual environments so I selected the base environment this time and the pip installed modules worked like charm for me

Wow! I've been struggling with something else altogether and after watching your video and fixing this basic has actually resolved my problem. Thanks a tonne.

[@kopalsoni4780]

I recommend checking the dependencies in the interpreter and reinstalling django and venv from manually (all dependencies have been removed from me)
