This problem has been driving me nuts. I am trying to import a class from a file in the same directory. PyCharm is giving me the "Unresolved reference" error. MyClass is defined in file.py.

I have found these questions:

• Unresolved reference issue in PyCharm
• Pycharm: "unresolved reference" error on the IDE when opening a working project
• PyCharm shows unresolved references error for valid code
• Unresolved reference when importing from sibling sub-package with

I have the following project structure:

I have marked src as the sources root...

I have set the "Add source roots to PYTHONPATH":

Any clues?

If MyClass is defined in pack/file.py, you need to import it as:

from pack.file import MyClass

Note that using names of Python built-in types (such as file) for your own modules is a bad idea.
