Hi Kombowombo,

Thank you for contacting PyCharm support.

Please upload  your logs folder zipped (Help | Show Log in...) to https://uploads.services.jetbrains.com/ and provide the name of the zip file and a screenshot of your Project Interpreter window (Preferences | Project | Project Interpreter).

Kind regards,

Sergey

Hi Pycharm team,

I am having the similar problem when I upgraded to Professional 2018.2 version

Logs are uploaded : idea_incompatibleCodecsEncodingsUTF-8.log

 Just FYI,
I have 2 versions intalled on my system-
2017.2.3 - I am using this currently.
2018.2 - has above error.

Thanks,
shoaib

Hi,

It seams to be similar to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-31178#, please comment on the issue and follow for updates. See https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241135-How-to-follow-YouTrack-issues-and-receive-notifications if you are not familiar with YouTrack.

Same issue.

Code in file:

import pandas
print "hello world"

Result:

/usr/bin/python /Users/shanboli/Projects/pp/f.py

Process finished with exit code 1

everything perfect if I change the import from pandas to numpy

Same here:

Worked perfectly after switching from Professional to Community Edition.

Edit: Removed real project name

Please try to reproduce the issue outside of PyCharm, making sure the same virtual invironment is activated in system terminal.

Most likely the issue is not related to IDE.

Everything fine if code is executed from venv. This problem is related only to IDE.

Please see the issue https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-27709

And try the workaround from there.
