Answer 1

I just had a similar problem. My project was created by PyCharm, with venv. The package I was installing via manager (Ctrl+Alt+S), was showing in the list, but it wasn't being recognized or imported.

I believe the error happened because I tried to install it before, using pip install into IDE's own terminal. Also pip version in the manager was a beta version, then I changed it to a stable version.

Had to start a new project in a new folder.

I have got a solution, i reffered to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-20081#u=1468410176856.

Here they have tried to add https://pypi.python.org/pypi as a repository.

To add it as a repository,

1.) Go to Settings
2.) Project interpreter
3.) Click the + sign on top right edge
4.) Go to manage repositories, 
5.) Press the + Sign, then add https://pypi.python.org/pypi
6.) Press Ok

Now all the packages should load.

Thanks Hami Torun & Simon, I was able to solve it by luck.

Answer 3

For me, it was because of low space in my pc. After I free up space the problem solved. Pycharm did not say anything about this problem. It just shows that "the package installed successfully", but actually package was not installed.

Answer 4

I had the same issue. It happened suddenly, day ago I was able to perform pip or install packages but on the next day error appeared. However this helped (I used version PyCharm Community Edition 2018):

Go to Settings -> Project Interpreter -> click green "+" icon (on right) -> Manage Repositories (on bottom) -> delete https://pypi.python.org/simple -> add https://pypi.python.org/pypi then click Ok. Repo will be back again as /simple, but don't worry, error should disappear and you should be able to install packages again.

The accepted answer didn't work for me. I had to update my pip version from the PyCharm terminal:

pip install --upgrade pip
