I haven't had your exact problem before, but I think I've had one like it. When I use PyCharm, I find that if open and use files that I've created in a project in PyCharm, then everything works fine. I can import them, can run them; no problems. The problems I run into (which are similar to yours) are when I open a file that was not created within a PyCharm project. I can't import them, and sometimes can't even run them correctly. Maybe it's just me being stupid or maybe a real bug with PyCharm, but whatever the case is. It might be worth (if you haven't already), create a project in PyCharm and copy and paste the file contents into files you create within PyCharm. For some reason, that has worked for me in the past.
