GAE import endpoints "No module named endpoints"

Question

I'm using pycharm to develop appengine. Now i'm trying to use endpoints and I've put

libraries:
- name: pycrypto
  version: latest
- name: endpoints
  version: 1.0

and then in main.py

import endpoints

But it gives me error

No module named endpoints

I can see the endpoints folder inside the GAE library. Anyone can help?

*EDIT: it is just a matter of IDE (pycharm) cant locate endpoints. The app runs fine and okay both in dev server or cloud server. There is a picture just to make it a bit clearer:

Thanks

If you can edit your question with the full error, whether or not it's broken on dev server or when you deploy, that might be helpful. If you think it is a bug, you should [file an issue](https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list?can=2&q=Component=Endpoints&sort=-modified+-id&colspec=ID%20Type%20Component%20Status%20Stars%20Summary%20Language%20Priority%20Owner%20Log%20Modified). If you are using Managed VMs (vm: true in app.yaml) then Endpoints is not supported on Managed VMs. — saiyr, Jan 20 '16 at 00:33
The app runs fine both in dev server or in cloud, it's just the matter of the IDE (which is pycharm) can't detect and find `import endpoints` which just means harder for me to debug and autocomplete some syntax — andiwin, Jan 20 '16 at 01:43
Ah, apologies, I misread your question. Pycharm has a way to add libraries. If it picks up GAE libraries, that's news to me, but I would manually add it to your path. — saiyr, Jan 20 '16 at 01:55
Yeah i've added the GAE_SDK path to the library (you can see from the image i can `import google.appengine` or `protorpc`) but for some reason it is just not working for endpoints, even though I clearly see the folder and __init__.py inside it — andiwin, Jan 20 '16 at 04:15

You need to add {GAE_SDK}/lib/endpoints-1.0, not just the SDK itself. The reason you can import google is because it is directly under {GAE_SDK}. The libraries you specify in app.yaml are laid out differently due to supporting multiple versions. I believe you also need to add {GAE_SDK}/lib/protorpc-1.0/, it's just not showing because there's already an import error.

That fixes it! Thanks a lot, but as for the protorpc, I don't need to add `{GAE_SDK}/lib/protorpc-1.0/` to make it works – andiwin Jan 20 '16 at 22:40
There's also the issue of the `google` package existing in the system Python's `site-packages`. A hack involving adding the SDK's `google` location to the imported 'built-in' `google` module's `__path__` makes the packages under `google` available as `google.`. Clear as mud! – Tom Russell Jul 20 '17 at 08:33
Here's the incantation that makes that magic happen. Please be sure to tell me if you understand it: `google.__path__.append("{0}/google".format(sdk_path))` – Tom Russell Jul 20 '17 at 08:39

I'm using the new version of PyCharm Community and I got to config too. You need to set the Source option on each folder like endpoints in File - Setting - Project:

I've run across the following code somewhere which fixes it for me in a client script. I'm not able to say how much of it may be unnecessary. You'd need to edit the google_appengine path for your SDK installation:

sdk_path = os.path.expanduser('~/work/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengine')

try:
    import google
    google.__path__.append("{0}/google".format(sdk_path))
except ImportError:
    pass

try:
    import protorpc
    protorpc.__path__.append("{0}/lib/protorpc-1.0/protorpc".format(sdk_path))
except ImportError:
    pass

sys.path.append("{0}/lib/endpoints-1.0".format(sdk_path))
