TLDR; Append Script path to the System Path by adding following in the entry point of your python script.

import os.path
import sys
PACKAGE_PARENT = '..'
SCRIPT_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(os.path.join(os.getcwd(), os.path.expanduser(__file__))))

Thats it now you can run your project in PyCharma as well as from Terminal!!
