Unresolved Import Issues with PyDev and Eclipse


In the properties for your pydev project, there's a pane called "PyDev - PYTHONPATH", with a sub-pane called "External Libraries". You can add source folders (any folder that has an __init__.py) to the path using that pane. Your project code will then be able to import modules from those source folders.


I am using eclipse kepler 4.3, PyDev 3.9.2 and on my ubuntu 14.04 I encountered with the same problem. I tried and spent hours, with all the above most of the options but in vain. Then I tried the following which was great:

  • Select Project-> RightClick-> PyDev-> Remove PyDev Project Config
  • file-> restart

And I was using Python 2.7 as an interpreter, although it doesn’t effect, I think.


I just upgraded a WXWindows project to Python 2.7 and had no end of trouble getting Pydev to recognize the new interpreter. Did the same thing as above configuring the interpreter, made a fresh install of Eclipse and Pydev. Thought some part of python must have been corrupt, so I re-installed everything again. Arghh! Closed and reopened the project, and restarted Eclipse between all of these changes.

FINALLY noticed you can 'remove the PyDev project config' by right clicking on project. Then it can be made into a PyDev project again, now it is good as gold!
