Why is PyCharm Autocomplete Not Recognizing Installed Library Methods?

Troubleshooting PyCharm's Autocomplete for Installed Libraries

Why isn't PyCharm's autocomplete functionality recognizing the methods of libraries that I have installed?

For example, after installing the boto library and importing it into code, pressing Ctrl Space does not reveal the available methods.

Solution:

The reason for this is that PyCharm may not be aware of the virtual environment in which the library is installed. PyCharm typically uses the system Python installation for interpretation, so it needs to be configured to point to the virtual environment instead.

To resolve this issue:

1. Go to the project settings in PyCharm.
2. Under the "Project Interpreter" section, select the virtual environment from the dropdown menu (or click "Add local" if it's not listed).
3. PyCharm will now index the virtual environment and enable autocomplete for installed libraries.
