I am working on a project in PyCharm. The project has the following structure:
/projectRoot/
folder1/
somecode.py
utils/
__init__.py

Make sure Project Interpreter is set to, for example: C:\Python36\python.exe (in my case) and not a copy somewhere or another.
'File > Settings > Project ____ > Project Interpreter'
Or, long story short, if that route isn't cooperating, can also try finding workspace.xml and manually change SDK_HOME before starting PyCharm:
