[FIXED] ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rest_framework'

Issue

I'm trying to follow a tutorial on DRF, but when I'm about to run "migrate" for the database, i get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rest_framework'.

As PyCharm hints, the same also applies to django_summernote and djoser I have there. I know there are some threads like this, but nothing from those seems to help - the Python console DOES recognize these modules, and they are added through INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'kursovik.apps.KursovikConfig',
'rest_framework',
'rest_framework.authtoken',
'django_summernote',
'djoser',
'kursovik']

I recently downloaded these through

pip install djangorestframework
pip install djoser
pip install django-summernote

do i need to reinstall them?

Solution

You have to ensure that your PyCharm console uses the correct Python Path where the packages are available basically so to say.

Go to File/Settings/YourProject and check for the following:

Set the correct path to make the packages available for interpretation procedures.
