Unresolved reference issue in PyCharm

Manually adding it as you have done is indeed one way of doing this, but there is a simpler method, and that is by simply telling pycharm that you want to add the src folder as a source root, and then adding the sources root to your python path.

This way, you don't have to hard code things into your interpreter's settings:

• Add src as a source content root:

• Then make sure to add add sources to your PYTHONPATH under:

  Preferences ~ Build, Execution, Deployment ~ Console ~ Python Console

• Now imports will be resolved:

This way, you can add whatever you want as a source root, and things will simply work. If you unmarked it as a source root however, you will get an error:

After all this don't forget to restart. In PyCharm menu select: File --> Invalidate Caches / Restart

1. check for __init__.py file in src folder
2. add the src folder as a source root
3. Then make sure to add add sources to your PYTHONPATH (see above)
4. in PyCharm menu select: File --> Invalidate Caches / Restart

If anyone is still looking at this, the accepted answer still works for PyCharm 2016.3 when I tried it. The UI might have changed, but the options are still the same.

ie. Right click on your root folder --> 'Mark Directory As' --> Source Root
