Looks like you installed the Cloud SDK. So I think you need to know/do two things:

1. Prior to configuring Pycharm, you'll need to get the Python App Engine component for the Cloud SDK. For most users, you'll be prompted for this as soon as you run gcloud app deploy or start the local development server (dev_appserver.py), but you wouldn't have run those yet, so do the following:

   gcloud components install app-engine-python
   

2. After installing the component, you will now have the Python portion of the SDK, which is installed by default at the following path:

   C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud SDK\google-cloud-sdk\platform\google_appengine\
   

   Or on Mac:

    /Users/<username>/google-cloud-sdk/platform/google_appengin‌​e
   

   Add this as your App Engine SDK path to PyCharm.
