How do I properly setup pipenv in PyCharm?

I need krakenex in a project, so I import it with

import krakenex

I have one version of krakenex in

/Users/x/Library/Python/3.6/lib/python/site-packages

. When I execute the script and

print(krakenex)

it shows me the path mentioned above.

In the future, I want to use the modules from the packages I installed with e.g.

pipenv install krakenex

with priority.

How do I manage to do that? Is it sufficient to add the path of the virtual environment to the sys path, or is there a more elegant way?

You should be pointing your Project Interpreter to the virtualenv python bin. So in PyCharm File->Settings->Project: ProjectName->Project Interpreter, then a windows showing the Project Interpreter should be displayed.

Next to the top dropdown is a gear and your going to want to Add Local and navigate to the virtualenvs python bin. Something like virtualenvs/virtualenv_name/bin/python. Then your project should be pointing to the right place.

To add more clarification on how to setup PyCharm with pipenv for now:

1. Execute in your project directory

   pipenv --venv

Save the output, you'll reference this path later

2. In PyCharm, Open Project Settings, and then select project interpreter

3. Click Add a Python Interpreter > System Interpreter > Select Python Interpreter and paste the output from the first command, appending /bin/python onto the end.

Note that you will need to use the command line to install any packages since PyCharm currently doesn't support pipenv in their package management tools. However, I haven't had a problem with this method.
