Solution 2:

Instructions for editing your PYTHONPATH or fixing import resolution problems for code inspection are as follows:

1. Open Preferences (On a Mac the keyboard short cut is ⌘,).

2. Look for Project Structure in the sidebar on the left under Project: Your Project Name

3. Add or remove modules on the right sidebar
