acitoolkit not working with Pycharm, why?
I've installed acitoolkit through Gitbash which is the terminal I'm using with Pycharm. When i try to run an acitoolkit query through Gitbash it works fine like this
>>> from device_info import apic
>>> print(apic)
{'host': 'https://sandboxapicdc.cisco.com', 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'ciscopsdt', 'port': 443}
>>> from acitoolkit.acitoolkit import *
>>> dir()

when I yty to run the same query through Pycharm i get this
from device_info import apic
print(apic)
{'host': 'https://sandboxapicdc.cisco.com', 'username': 'admin', 'password': 'ciscopsdt', 'port': 443}
from acitoolkit.acitoolkit import *

Why is that ?

Perhaps there are some environment variables or paths that are missing in PyCharm.
Have you checked if PYTHONPATH is the same in PyCharm and in Gitbash (apart from PyCharm-specific folders of course)?
Hello. Here is my Path for the current project i want to use
From Pycharm it says its C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki\venv|Scripts\python.exe
I then fire up terminal FROM Pycharm and Gitbash goes to
C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki
So now I've changed on Gitbash to
C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki\venv\Scripts
it wont let me change it to C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki\venv\Scripts\pythone.exe
because python.exe isn't a directory so should it just work with
C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki\venv\Scripts ?
It WAS the Path, it is now working the way I want it to, i just had
From C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki
To C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki\venv\Scripts
I wrongly assumed that Pycharm would automatically give Gitbash which is my chosen terminal the full path.
Do you know why it doesn't do that and is there a way you can force it from Pycharm to automatically add the full path or will I always have to do it manually ?
Thank you so much for your help, you wouldn't believe how long this has took me to fix, it's been really frustrating, but I've learned a lot which is the main thing.
Where exactly did you change that path? In PyCharm's terminal settings?
I found the path C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki\venv\Scripts\python.exe in Pycharm. that is what it told me in Pycharm
If i then clicked on terrminal from Pycharm it opend GitBash in C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki
So I added the \venv\Scripts to Gitbash
is there a way Pycharm can autoamtially add the FULL correct directory path, you know add the \venv\Scripts ?
C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki - this is probably your project?
PyCharm adds it by default because Add content roots to PYTHONPATH is enabled in your run configuration (Run | Edit Configurations...).
If you need a specific directory to be found by Python, then one of the options is to do it from PyCharm's settings. Namely, you can use Interpreter Paths https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/installing-uninstalling-and-reloading-interpreter-paths.html
Does it cover your case?
So either way I have to add the full path manually is what you're saying yes?
i can change it on Pycharm to C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki
and everything will still work ?
Or i change it to C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\meraki\venv\scripts in Gitbash
again, this is a manual change yes?
In this case, I believe these are the only two options, yes.
I'm not sure what exactly is the root cause of the problem so can't think of a more elegant solution at the moment. Could you check if enabling Emulate terminal in output console for you run configuration helps?
Also, to clarify, you've configured Gitbash in PyCharm's terminal settings, right?
Hello. yes Gitbash is the terminal.
Where do i Emulate terminal in output console ?
Run | Edit Configurations...

Do you see your venv activated when you open the terminal in PyCharm?
I open Pycharm in whatever project, then i click on the terminal button which then opens gitbash
gitbash opens in the follwing directory
C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\whatever
I then eeed to CD to
C:\Users\M7551873\netprog_basics\network_controllers\whatever\venv\Scripts
