Pycharm error: Improperly configured

Question

After having an unexpected shutdown on my DEV machine, when going back to Pycharm project, I noticed the Django view file I was editing (which had 700+ lines) when that happened

Answer 1

For Pycharm, just go to Run -> Edit Configurations, select your project on the right of the window from Debug Configuration, and you will see Environment variables on the right. Make sure you have set DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.settings, if not just add one, it is as easy as fill a key value pair from the pop up dialog.
