This issue arises when the package you're using was installed outside of the environment (Anaconda or virtualenv, for example). In order to have PyCharm recognize packages installed outside of your particular environment, execute the following steps:

Go to

Preferences -> Project -> Project Interpreter -> 3 dots -> Show All -> Select relevant interpreter -> click on tree icon Show paths for the selected interpreter

Now check what paths are available and add the path that points to the package installation directory outside of your environment to the interpreter paths.

To find a package location use:

$ pip show gym
Name: gym
Version: 0.13.0
Summary: The OpenAI Gym: A toolkit for developing and comparing your reinforcement learning agents.
Home-page: https://github.com/openai/gym

...

Add the path specified under Location to the interpreter paths, here

/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages

Then, let indexing finish and perhaps additionally reopen your project.
