PyCharm does not show modules in site-package in a remote virtual env project

Hi yukilab,

Thank you for contacting PyCharm support.

Is it `Settings/Preferences | Project | Project Interpreter` what you are looking for? Here you are able to view all the packages installed to your remote interpreter.

Please correct me if I have misunderstood.

Looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

Sergey

Hi Sergey, no.

What I'm pointing is Project Explorer -> External Libraries as attached image. In typical projects I saw remote libraries under site-package but this time I don't see even site-package itself.

Remote packages installed in remote virtual environment can still be seen in 'Settings/Preferences | Project | Project Interpreter' UI though.

Does directory exist on your remote machine for this interpreter?

It could be that this directory doesn't exist and thus is not shown in PyCharm.

You could also browse remote host (Tools | Deployment | Browse Remote Host).

Kind regards,

Sergey

Yes. Modules exist in the site-package directory and can be browsed with Tools | Deployment | Browse Remote Host

Oh, I see.

What is your PyCharm version?

Could you please check latest EAP build? https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/nextversion/ There're a bunch of related fixes in it.

Kind regards,

Thank you for prompt support, Sergey,

I was using 2018.2.4.   I have updated PyCharm following given link and now it is 2018.3 EAP.  Issue remains same though even re-assigned / indexed project interpreter. 

1) Please add the following lines to Debug Log Settings as described here https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-22254#focus=streamItem-27-3055432-0-0. Then reproduce the problem and attach your idea.log (Help | Show Log in...).

2) What is OS of your server?

Kind regards,

Sergey

Thanks!

Hi yukilab, thank you for the logs, I created a ticket in our bug tracker for a responsible developer to investigate https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-32035 Please follow it for updates and feel free to remove the gist.

thank you Pavel and Sergey. I follow the ticket.

hello Sergey Karpov

I really appreciate if you can help me to configure ssh remote on pycharm professional, I have followed the instruction on the website,  but I still face a lot of problem

Setup tool is not found, so I cannot load any package such as tensorflow from server (hpc).

Could you show me how to load other packages such as tensorflow, pytorch when running remotely?

I really need you help

I have the same problem.  When I point to a remote interpreter via SSH that happens to be in a virtualenv, it doesn't recognize the virtualenv.  It just sees the packages installed on the server globally.

It would be great to have it recognize the virtualenv.

Hi Scott, which path to the python executable did you select while creating the remote interpreter? Could you create a ticket in PyCharm's bug tracker please?

I've met the same problem with Scott Smith. Is there any update on this issue?

The installed packages are properly listed under the python interpreter setting view but seem not recognized by the IDE.

I've reindexed multiple times and tried to set the PATH manually, but the External Libraries were still undetected.

Since the report link above is broken and I searched and found no bug that is the same there, I've submitted a bug report.

I have similar problem - the additional packages are installed in externall folder - site-packages under .local folder on my home directory on remote. However, the path to interpreter is global path and does not contain additional packages. How can I add this external folder to the pycharm interpreter?

Directories with site packages could be added manually. For PyCharm Professional 2021.3 on Mac go PyCharm -> Preferences -> Project -> Python Interpreter, press the gear button -> Show All..., select your interpreter and press "Show paths for selected interpreter" button and add path to site packages folder.

In my case it also worked with writing full path to "Python interpreter path" in Python Interpreter settings.
