Pycharm (Python IDE) doesn't auto complete Django modules
django, init, pycharm, python
Solution
I had exactly the same issue and couldn't find a definitive answer. Just invalidating caches didn't work for me. The problem lies in the fact that, at some point, `__init__.py` files got registered as text files and messed up the indexing. I worked out this fix:
- Preferences > File Types > Text Files.
- Remove `__init__.py` from the list of registered patterns. Apply.
- Wait for your indexes to re-build.
- (If it's still not working) File > Invalidate caches & restart.
Problem
My Python IDE (pycharm) has stopped auto completing my modules (suggestions). I get unresolved references after every django module I try to import so: `from django` - works, however soon as I add a 'dot' it fails so `from django.db import models` gives me unresolved errors... The ackward thing is after compiling references DO work. I discovered that all my `__init__.py` files (everywhere) no longer are marked with python icon and are now notepad icons. Also opening init files in my interpreter gives non-color marked up text (no syntax highlighting). So I think Python doens't recognizes these files. My python interpreter is python 2.6.1 with Django 1.2.4 and my django is installed under: `/Lib/python/2.6/site-packages` (full directories, not egg) When I unfold sitepackages from external libraries within the IDE I do see colored mark up for all .py files EXCEPT `__init__.py` files. Hence thats where the issue lives. (I have found posts on google for similar problems but no answers...)
