How to make Pycharm search my local source directories before the site libraries

What do you mean by "before". It seems it searches in both locations simultaneously.

Okay. I should of been more specific. sys.path has the site-packages before
the additional source directories. So a module maybe imported from the
site-packages, when I actually want a module from one of my sources
directories.

Thanks

So PyCharm insists on searching my site-packages in my virtual env before
searching my source directories. Is there a way to force it to search my
source directories first?

Thanks,

Paul

I'm guessing you're asking not about _searching_ in source code (Edit|Find) but rather executing Python code. If so then as long as you checked "Add content roots to PYTHONPATH" and/or "Add source roots to PYTHONPATH" in run/debug configuration (and set these roots properly in Settings|Project|Project Structure) then your folers should come before site-packages in `sys.path` and get imported.

Hi,

You are correct. I should not have used the term search

I wish that was true, but it was not. Now it does appear to be working
correctly (I also removed the offending package from site-packages.

I consider this closed for now, since I cannot reproduce it at the moment.

Thanks,
