Enabling or disabling Django support
Django support for a Python project can be turned on or off by selecting/clearing the checkbox Enable Django support in the Django page.
To enable Django support, follow these steps:
Open the project Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) and navigate to the page.
Make sure that the checkbox Enable Django support is selected. You can also use the fields below to configure the required settings:
Item
Description
Enable Django support
The default state of this checkbox depends on the project type. For the empty projects, Django support is disabled. For the Django projects it is enabled by default; you can clear this checkbox if required. In this case, the other fields become unavailable.
Django project root
By default, this field shows the directory that contains all project files. If required, you can specify a different location.
Settings
Click the browse button to select the desired settings file.
Use one of the following approaches:
This can be any file with the name matching *settings*.py, located under the Django project root.
Point to any Python package and store settings in __init__.py.
This latter approach is useful when you want to split settings to several modules and import them.
By default, PyCharm shows the settings.py file, located in the Python package directory of your Django project.
Do not use Django test runner
By default, this checkbox is not selected. You can select it if you want to use any of the alternative test runners specified in the PyCharm Integrated Tools dialog window ( for Windows and Linux and for macOS).
Manage.py tasks
Manage script
Specify here the desired manage.py file for the current project.
By default, PyCharm shows the manage.py file, located under the Django project root. Click
to select the desired manage file from the file system.Environment variables
Specify here the environment variables to be passed to the script. Click
to open the Environmental Variables window. Press 
to add a new variable and enter its name and value in the corresponding fields. 
Folder pattern to track file
Specify here folder names separated with colons. If needed, you can use Glob-style wildcards. Django only pulls and adds to VCS files matched by this pattern.
Apply changes (if any) and close the dialog.
