I have had trouble setting up the pycharm ide on my macosx10.7 with python3..

I have scoured every resource available and tried hundreds of approaches, at this point I must accept my incompetence and seek help via this channel.

In my research, I notice a lack of ground-up explanations on python integration into macosx and how to configure pycharm to import modules, run code within the editor, etc. If i ever solve this I will make a very detailed tutorial.

I have imported python3 successfully, it looks like it is linked appropriately from /sys/lib/frameworks to /usr/lib ...etc -- version control is working just fine.

I think my issue is either in setting environmental variables (tried the program to fix this and tried macports) and in the script needed to execute. it will catch errors throughout but final product does not run in python and returns printout of : 

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/bin/python3.2 /Users/anon/Desktop/pythonpractice/Py_Ex/classes.py

Process finished with exit code 0

i really need to get this configuration sound for my python programming class. please help (I've been through every line of pycharm website) .. preferably is there a way to map it via terminal? thanks for anyone who took the time to read this.

  • The last error you have comes from the third-party plug-in `Extended Code Sense`. Uninstall it in Preferences | Plugins. Provide the sample script to reproduce the problem, the error you get when running from Terminal, the error you get when running from PyCharm. – CrazyCoder Apr 10 '12 at 11:40

  • this may be somewhat revealing but on pycharm run, the python launcher that come stock with IDLE launches, on force quit the error is as follows : http://pastebin.com/F9h6Yx6e – Cory Brown Apr 10 '12 at 13:10
  • Can you finally post the source code that doesn't run to your original question? Make sure to use markup for the source code. What modules does your code depend on? Did you install them for this Python interpreter? If so, how did you install them? Do they depend on any native libraries? Which libraries? Are you sure the modules you want to use are compatible with Python 3? Does your code run fine outside of PyCharm? Did you modify PYTHONPATH environment variable? Can you post it? – CrazyCoder Apr 10 '12 at 13:11
  • how do i disable django debug cause its looking there for modules versus within the python3.2 folder – Cory Brown Apr 10 '12 at 15:01

  • Use **Run** for scripts, not Debug, not Run with Coverage, also your PYTHONPATH is incorrect. – CrazyCoder Apr 10 '12 at 15:37
  • what should python path be set to?? and pycharm runs any code that doesnt have imports, thanks so much for helping me narrow this down. any suggestions for import process? the files are in the python3.2 /library folder in frameworks.. or so i assume cause thats how idle knows to search fro imports – Cory Brown Apr 10 '12 at 15:45
  • Please record a screencast showing your PyCharm Python interpreter settings with paths, your script, Run configuration, the result of running the script from PyCharm and from the command line, use this: http://screenr.com. – CrazyCoder Apr 10 '12 at 16:21

  • Your Python installation is probably broken, try to install ActiveState Python from scratch, then remove it from PyCharm, then add it again. All the paths should be detected automatically. The errors you post above make no sense, I told you to use Run, not Debug or other options to verify that it works, investigating Debug problem would be the next step. – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 06:55
  • 'run' output is right above the paste bin of the Mac kernel error after the 'run' failed .. below i listed output from debug selection. Should I delete all python 3.2 from my system, then reinstall active state python? And I should not touch anything from the python2 versions? – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 12:11
  • Yes, make a vanilla Python 3.2.2 installation and see if it works better. – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 12:31
  • alright sweet, heres run output, i think perhaps this indicated success: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/bin/python3 /Users/anon/PycharmProjects/Python3/test.py ['/Users/anon/PycharmProjects/Python3', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python32.zip', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2', '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/lib/python3.2/lib-dynload', – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 12:45

  • Did you add `graphics.py` to your project or to the `PYTHONPATH`? It's not something standard that is available out of the box with any Python installation, so you need to install it separately or have in your project. – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 12:53
  • python interpreter config matches your jpeg from yesterday exactly. heres my edit config, i think yesterday you mentioned environment variable was incorrect : http://www.clbrown.stu.cofc.edu/screenshot.png – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 12:55
  • oh I see, should i drag it directly into the /usr/pycharm/projects/python3 or do I add it to 3.2 interpreter? – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 12:56
  • If you want your project to run on other systems it's better to keep this file in the project, otherwise you will have to install it on the other machines as well. – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 12:59
  • got it, It worked beautifully. I am forever indebted to you sir. I will spread word of the help you rendered me and attempt to have the entire computer science dept purchase your product. Can u give me a quick rundown of your debut config, I noticed your 2.7 had a env-var set in the interpreter options, mine always crashes through pydev directory. – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 13:04
  • Here it is: http://o7.no/I2v4Wi – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 13:18
  • thanks so much, you've saved me grade the past 48 hours. Will organize what we covered here into a concise troubleshooting tutorial, half my python class is following the assistance you rendered us and they extend their thanks as well. – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 13:24
  • i think perhaps pydev requires porting to 3.2 – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 13:31
  • is this whats required (macport installation) http://www.insomnihack.com/?paged=2 – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 13:34
  • Any Python version compatible with Mac should work, but I was trying it with ActiveState Python as it's easier to setup. – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 13:38
  • k where else can i find debugger options, because my edit config is identical to yours however same crash within the pyDev part of it – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 13:47
  • What PyCharm version do you use? It works fine out of the box with PyCharm 2.0.2, I didn't configure any options. Maybe your Python installation is still broken or Python interpreter in PyCharm is not configured properly, try to reinstall PyCharm, then delete the following directories: `~/Library/Preferences/PyCharm20`, `~/Library/Caches/PyCharm20`, `~/Library/Application Support/PyCharm20`. Start PyCharm with all the default settings, configure Python interpreter from scratch, try to debug again. – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 13:53
  • ok should i follow the version control steps presented at start of pycharm installation? – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 14:15
  • There are no such steps, there should be a dialog for the plug-ins configuration which you can skip. – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 14:20
  • when i select my python3 distribution for interpreter. Should i go into the /bin and select python3.2, or python3 (i noticed yours was python3) or should i select the first /python.exec that sits outside the version folder but within python.frameworks alongside /headers /versions /resources. – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 15:13
  • `/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/bin/python3` – CrazyCoder Apr 11 '12 at 16:13
  • works perfectly, both run and python debug.. thank you! – Cory Brown Apr 11 '12 at 16:51

Summary of the discussion above:

  • Python 3.2.2 installation was broken on this Mac, installing ActiveState Python 3.2.2 from scratch and configuring it in PyCharm has fixed the problem.

  • Python path to be used in PyCharm settings: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.2/bin/python3

  • Incompatible third-party plug-ins may break PyCharm, uninstall/disable them in Preferences | Plugins.

  • Ensure the latest PyCharm version is installed.

  • User's code depends on the graphics.py module which was not in the project or in the PYTHONPATH. Putting it into the project has solved the problem.

  • Most likely the wrong Run/Debug configuration was used in PyCharm, the easiest way to run or debug such scripts is by using the editor context menu Run and Debug actions. PyCharm creates the configuration automatically and debugging works fine as shown of the screenshot:

debugging

  • If one wants to configure and debug it, he can use the code.zip file to get started.

Sorry for the comments mess above, but it was not possible to move it into chat as user had only 1 reputation point, hence not able to use the chat feature of StackOverflow.

  • PyCharm 2.5+ supports Python [virtual environments](http://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/whatsnew/index.html) which should make life easier. – Burhan Khalid Jun 24 '12 at 11:55
