Manage interpreter paths
PyCharm makes it possible to add paths to the selected interpreter. These paths will be added to the environment variable PYTHONPATH
. Also, PyCharm will index these paths and (potentially) resolve the objects of the code (for example, imports of packages).

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select
