Python works in PyCharm but not from terminal

Question

I recently figured out how to import modules for unittesting in python. As a solution to this, I use:

sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.di         


        

Answer 1

What @codewarrior has said about the PyCharm setting its own PYTHONPATH is correct. But sys.path didn't have my current working directory. So to get around this problem, I updated my PYTHONPATH (or you can edit sys.path).

Setting PYTHONPATH

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`  (OR your project root directory)

Updating sys.path

import sys
sys.path.insert(0,'') OR
sys.path.append('')

You can use insert/append based on the order in which you want your project to be searched.

HTH.
