Not able to install packages in Pycharm

Question

I have pycharm community edition(latest stable build) installed on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, I am not able to install packages via pycharm, was able to install them before. I can install the packages via pip, but would like to solve this issue.

Below is the Screenshot of the problem

Have googled for this issue, but could not find any fix, I have a windows machine and it does not face the same issue.

Solution 1

I have got a solution, i reffered to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-20081#u=1468410176856.

Here they have tried to add https://pypi.python.org/pypi as a repository.

To add it as a repository,

1.) Go to Settings
2.) Project interpreter
3.) Click the + sign on top right edge
4.) Go to manage repositories, 
5.) Press the + Sign, then add https://pypi.python.org/pypi
6.) Press Ok

Now all the packages should load.

Thanks Hami Torun & Simon, I was able to solve it by luck.

Solution 2

I had the same issue. It happened suddenly, day ago I was able to perform pip or install packages but on the next day error appeared. However this helped (I used version PyCharm Community Edition 2018):

Go to Settings -> Project Interpreter -> click green "+" icon (on right) -> Manage Repositories (on bottom) -> delete https://pypi.python.org/simple -> add https://pypi.python.org/pypi then click Ok. Repo will be back again as /simple, but don't worry, error should disappear and you should be able to install packages again.

I tried this but with no luck. it turns out pip was the culprit. pip had somehow updated itself from 9.0.1 to 10. , and this pip 10 was wreaking havoc

@kRazzyR DO NOT USE pip 10 in PyCharm! It's still bugged, get back pip to 9, in Settings -> Project Interpreter -> Repository, choose pip and then choose older version. Source: blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2018/04/…

List is still empty for me - (pycharm 5.0.5)

@Logic1 Can you tell me what version does it show in Help -> About (in pycharm)

when I add pypi, it automatically removes it and replaces it with simple. no success!
