pycharm no module named redis

Question

I installed python，Django and Redis. In Vim I use “import redis” is OK， when I use pycharm IDE to code， I write “import redis” ， the pycharm tip “no module named redis”， why？ what should I to do ？

Solution 1

As per my understanding pycharm will say "No module named redis" if you haven't set up python interpreter in pycharm or in case there is no such module you are trying to use installed in the python interpreter you are currently using for pycharm.

To add python interpreter to pycharm go to File -> Settings -> Python interpreter

Ansuman's tip got me part way there, but import redis was still going red. I had an interpreter selected, but it turned out I did not have pip installed, nor did I have the redis package installed.

To get those, go to File > Settings > Python Interpreter (or PyCharm > Preferences > Python Interpreter on Mac) and select Configure Interpreters. At the bottom it will suggest to install pip (sorry, no screenshot). Do this. After pip is installed, install the redis module by selecting Install.

In the new window, search on redis. Select redis (you may have to scroll down, it didn't appear at the top for me), then select Install Package.

Obviously, this should work for all packages, not just redis.
