I've seen similar questions but they don't solve my problem.

I have a correctly installed django project. I haven't being able to make Pycharm recognize it. I can't get file name completions (i.e static files), imports from the project apps aren't recognized and neither are urls tags, can't run the server ... How can I solve this?

    do you think you set up pycharm correctly so it supports django? if not yet, here is shown how to django-tips.com/tip/how-to-setup-pycharm-for-django/31 Commented May 2, 2016 at 17:10

    What have you configured? Have you set your project interpreter in pycharm? Enabled django support in languages & frameworks? Made sure the settings module is correct in the environment variables config? Commented May 2, 2016 at 17:12

    A quick checklist, project interpreter in settings is set to a python env with django installed? also in case you have anything unusual with directory structure, enabled django support telling it django project root, settings file and manage script? Commented May 2, 2016 at 17:12

The problem was that I wasn't selecting the correct folder when opening the project. I opened the whole virtualenv folder with Pycharm cause I wanted quick access to the activate file in /bin where I keep my environment variables.

The solution was to delete the .idea folder and open the specific django project folder. I thought there was a workaround to this but there wasn't. The question still remains if there is a way to add the activate file in the /bin directory of the virtualenv to the project, even if it is outside the project root.
