I wanted to set up PyCharm the way this blog post explains: Setting up PyCharm for PyQGIS and Qt.

I did everything as instructed but when it comes to adding project interpreters I got this error message:

Pycharm

Does anyone have a solution to this?

  • You wouldn't happen to be mixing 64 and 32 bit versions of QGIS and/or Python?

  • I have 64bit QGIS and I don't know how to check what PyCharm version I have. BTW I got Win7 64bit

From the comments it looked like the asker of this question was able to resolve their problem by reading a blog posting entitled A Quick Guide to Getting Started With PyQGIS on Windows.

In that blog the advice offered seemed to be:

We only changed the last line, adding the start statement with the path to the IDE (PyCharm). If you save this to something like pycharm.cmd, you can double-click on it to start PyCharm. The same method works for other IDEs, such as PyDev.

The batch script from the A Quick Guide to Getting Started with PyQGIS on Windows as described in the comments and by @PolyGeo maybe outdated. The SDK seems invalid appear in PyCharm 2016.3 by using the script.

I suspect it needs more paths to be included especially (maybe) pip.exe path that exist in %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\Scripts. So I include that and all other paths (not sure which one is required, maybe some unnecessary, but no time to test 1 by 1):

@echo off

SET OSGEO4W_ROOT=C:\Program Files\QGIS 2.18
SET PYCHARM="C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 2016.3.2\bin\pycharm.exe"

CALL %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\bin\o4w_env.bat
CALL %OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\grass\grass-7.0.5\etc\env.bat

path %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\bin
path %PATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\grass\grass-7.0.5\lib

SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\bin
SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis
SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis\python
SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27
SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\Scripts
SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\Lib
SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages
SET PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\Python27\DLLs
SET QGIS_PREFIX_PATH=%OSGEO4W_ROOT%\apps\qgis

start "PyCharm aware of QGIS" /B %PYCHARM% %*

Then it works. Edit the paths to match your environment.

Anyway, the recent how python/conda installation register PATH or PYTHONPATH in my environment, I follow the same for QGIS python paths in the script.

  • With PyCharm 2018.3.7, this is what I needed. Thanks.

Make sure that the interpreter python.exe is executable if you're on Linux.

PyCharm will show the same error even if interpreter has been set up fine.
