Python Interpreter Paths ignored?

Hello Marcel,

This is a bug in PyCharm which will be fixed in PyCharm 1.5.3. Sorry for

the problems.

I have a module library (mixture of compiled Python/C) that exists

within my Project structure in PyCharm but not contained in the

Lib/site-packages folder in Python26. This module is in the PYTHONPATH

in the windows environment variables.

PYTHONPATH = D:\SVN\QSTrunk\faker;

PyCharm sees the environmental variable because the path appears in

the Python Interpreter menu. I do not have the module folder path

listed as a source in the Project Structure menu.

While using the IDE, the code inspection (introspection?),

autocomplete, and source linking appears to work as expected for

functions within the module.  It picks up the _faker.pyd functions

found within the PythonPath folder. However, when I try to debug a

script that contains something like  import faker.core as fk, the

debugger cannot find the module.

ImportError: No module named faker.core

I ran the following just prior to the 'import faker' statement to see

what was going on.

for x in sys.path:print x

It appears that PyCharm is not seeing the path as listed in the

Interpreter settings.  But since D:\SVN was there, I figured maybe I

would simply need to add the module path in the Project Structure as a

source.  So I tried that.

That worked, but now all of the pre-compiled functions found in

_faker.pyd are not recognized by the code inspection (introspection?)

portion of the IDE.   The example image below shows getGMTOffset() is

recognized because it is found in the core.py portion of the library

(i.e. is not a precompiled function)

I am able to get around this issue with a slight work around.  Put the

environmental variables in the Run/Debug Configuration default.
