Pycharm gets error “can't find '__main__' module”

Question

Whenever I try to run script via Virtualenv in pycharm, i get this error:

C:\\Users\\Costello\\PycharmProjects\\test\\venv\\Scripts\\python.exe C:/Users/Costello         


        

Answer 1

I fixed it by removing values from Interpreter options field in run/debug configurations. While trying to add an interpreter, I had added the python path to the mentioned field.

After clearing out the field all worked well.

You can find run/debug configuration settings in the drop-down left of run icon on top-right of pycharm window.

Answer 2

Go to "Edit Configuration" and only speciy your filename like filename.py

Existing path -----> C:\Users\np4\PycharmProjects\TEST\venv

Try with this -----> C:\Users\np4\PycharmProjects\TEST\venv\MultiSites.py

Answer 3

In your Pycharm:

1. Select Run - Edit Configurations
2. In Configuration tabs, select Module name in option Choose target to run and type your python file's name
3. Click Apply and OK button

Or the simple way is when you run your code for first time (on a new file) just type keyboard Alt+Shift+F10 to run and save the configuration. On the second time (after configuration is saved) just type Alt+F10 to run your code.

Answer 4

"Open 'Edit Run/Debug configurations' dialog" (on the top, next to "Run") "Edit Configurations" "script path:" --> select correct script path.

Answer 5

Figured out whats wrong. In the configuration window in pycharm, I had to select proper script path:

Answer 6

I encountered this problem when my cmd was forced to "End Task" by "Task Manager". My problem solved when I restart my IDE.
