Answer 3

I had this problem. I had changed the name of my module, but the old name still persisted here and there. I fixed it in the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA -- deleting the old module and recreating it from sources -- and then it worked in PyCharm. It might have been possible to fix it in PyCharm, I was just switching IDEs out of frustration.
