Removing a package from External libraries in PyCharm

Question

I want to remove the /usr/bin/python2.7/dist-packages/gi package from External Libraries list in my PyCharm project because I don't want PyCharm to pick up code completion cues from this package. Why I want to do it? Because I'm overriding it with another gi package in some other directory, and both of them being there causes code completion issues.

Yes I'm aware my PyGI code won't run without the actual gi package, I'm just doing this for ease of editing.

The best way to solve this problem is to uninstall the gi package in your Python's environment. Simply run pip uninstal gi . You can install it back later when you want.

Or, you could create a virtualenv , and just use the packages that you want to be made available to you.
