PyCharm Not Starting Django/Flask App
August 23, 2015
This problem has plagued me for months now. One day, PyCharm boots up my app fine. The next it gives the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py", line 2, in
from __future__ import nested_scopes # Jython 2.1 support
ImportError: No module named __future__
The only fix I've been able to find is:
- Close out of your current project, as well as PyCharm completely.
- Completely remove the
.idea/
folder contained within your project's root directory - Open PyCharm and now recreate your project.
This is a super annoying bug that I can't find the answer to. Please let me know if you come across a better fix than what I've outlined above.
