'Unresolved references' - how to add libraries?

Hello Andy,

Right now you can go to Settings | Project Structure and add the folder with

your Django installation as a content root to your project.

Django is intentionally not on my path - I use

sys.path.insert(0,'/path/to/django') as a hacky substitute for

virtualenv ;-)

For PyCharm to be any use I need some way to tell it this so it can

resolve references. Can this to be done?

That helped.

I also had to add my project folder explicitly as adding the parent caused lots of unresolved references.

There still are lots of spurious unresolved references though.

It balks at:

1. 'from django.conf import settings' PyCharm can't resolve any of my settings. I know this one is tricky as it's dynamically loading settings but it needs to be special-cased at the very least.

2. 'self.cleaned_data' on a subclass of forms.ModelForm

3. 'SomeModel.objects' says that objects is unresolved

and a bunch of other stuff (model object methods added by Django MPTT and other dynamic methods)

Hello Andy,

This is a known issue:

2. 'self.cleaned_data' on a subclass of forms.ModelForm

Could you please file a YouTrack issue for that? We don't yet have any special

support for Django forms.

3. 'SomeModel.objects' says that objects is unresolved

This should work in the latest PyCharm build, but maybe there's something

special in your case that breaks it.

and a bunch of other stuff (model object methods added by Django MPTT

and other dynamic methods)

YouTrack issues for any problems you find are very much welcome.

Thanks for the response. I'll update PyCharm and file any remaining issues as bug reports.
