How do I import libraries into PyCharm Mac?

I use PyCharm on my mac for python development.

I have many libraries installed in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages and need to be able to import them from the command line. How can I do this?

If you are not using virtualenv and you have both py27- and py35-versions of a library installed, then you can select which one to use from the project's interpreter settings (select "Project Interpreter." from the project's top bar).

If you use virtualenv you could select the virtualenv python version from the project's interpreter settings, but you will need to activate it from the command line with source /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/activate.

How to import bs4 in PyCharm?

How can I import bs4 to PyCharm?

I tried import requests, requests.packages.urllib3.ordereddict, import urllib.request, as well as using pythons package manager.

I figured out a way to import bs4 in PyCharm without the need of installing it in a virtual environment (Pipenv). I've been using it for quite some time already and it's been working well. Just go to: File > Settings. > Project: > Project Interpreter > Python interpreter.

Choose "Python 3.8.1" and "Project Interpreter" > "Global".

Click "Ok" and you're done! Now, whenever you want to import bs4 you just have to go to your project folder and type: pip install bs4. If you're not going to import any .py files or only you have a single .py file you don't need to do anything special. It will just work!
