"ImportError: No module named cv2" when running Django project from PyCharm IDE
In the end I ended up having to set an environment variable directly in the Pycharm Edit Configurations -> Run/Debug Configurations -> Environment Variables panel. I added the following option after you hit the edit button: set name to PYTHONPATH and value to /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH which should display in the input box after editing as PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH. Also, I made sure to log out and log back in of osx which also worked for a couple other path related issues.
I'm running a Django project from PyCharm with the configuration set up to use the Python interpreter from a virtualenv which has a dependency on opencv. The site works fine locally when I run django-admin.py runserver, however I keep getting an "ImportError: No module named cv2" error when I try to run the project directly from the PyCharm IDE.
Has anyone else had this issue with PyCharm and opencv?
