Pycharm not recognizing packages even when __init__.py exits

Question

This is my directory structure

--> ProjectDirectory
          -->__init__.py


          --> BaseDirectory
                  -->__init__.py


          --> AnotherBaseDirectory
                  -->__init__.py

          -->program.py

inside program.py

When i give import BaseDirectory

PyCharm is unable to recognize the package

all __init__.py files contain __all__ variable with the python file names

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

You can try marking root directory as Sources Root. Right click on root directory, and click Mark Directory As -> Sources Root

Answer 2

If we set __init__.py as a Text file type, Pycharm was not indexing it. We need to remove __init__.py from the Text file type

Answer 3

My problem was that I had a hyphen in the package name foo-bar, which also brings other problems with it. Replacing with an underscore: foo_bar immediately solved the problem.
