Import Statement works from PyCharm, but not from terminal
Pycharm 2016.2.3, Mac OS X 10.11.1, Python 3.5 (Homebrew);
I have this folder structure
project
/somepackage
/subpackage
bar.py
foo.py
foo.py:
import somepackage.subpackage.bar
print("foo")
bar.py:
print("bar")
So my expected output is
bar
foo
This works fine when run from PyCharm. However, when I run it from my terminal I get an ImportError:
$ pwd
$ /home/project (not the actual path; just omitting some personal stuff)
$ python3.5 somepackage/foo.py
File "foo.py", line 1, in <module>
import somepackage.subpackage.bar
ImportError: No module named 'somepackage'
I have found this question[1], which is about the same problem. However, none of the suggested solutions work for me, as I am indeed using the same Python interpreter as PyCharm does and I am currently in the folder that contains the `somepackage/` folder.
Does anyone have any other suggestions about how to solve this issue? Thank you kindly!

If this helps anyone, I would recommend trying out
$ pip install .
This installs your own package into your Python library.
Hi,
I'm having the same problem, 4 years after this post.
Is there is a solution to make pycham import work the same as python3 in terminal ?
Or should we install our package everytime we modify it ?
Thanks a lot

Hi, have you considered using `pip install -e` to install the package as editable ?
