Share package between virtual environments

I'm getting started with PyCharm.  I want to use it to develop multiple wxPython projects. 

I have a virtual environment (created outside of PyCharm) in which I have installed wxPython.  I would like to share this package with virtual environments created by PyCharm.  (Installing wxPython takes a long time to build and is more than 400Mb.  I don't want multiple identical copies in each PyCharm venv.)

Should I just edit the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to the pre-installed wxPython package or is there a better way?

Hi, why don't install wxPython for the system interpreter, and then when you create venv from that interpreter in PyCharm you can select to inherit global packages.

Thanks for the quick response.  I'll give that a try. 

There's a small chance that I might have different versions of wxPython used by different projects.  But I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
