Hi,
Please bear with me as I'm new to both python and QC.
I'm trying to code in pycharm and I see QCAlgorithm and related QC types are unresolved and unrecognised.
I've downloaded LEAN zip file from github and I have added the following dir in pycharm File->Settings->Project Interpreter -> Interpreter Paths
Lean-master\packages\QuantConnect.pythonnet.1.0.5.30\lib\win
But that doesn't seem to make a difference.
Note that I have installed skylight and in pycharm I just want to code and be able to benefit from intellisense/AutoComplete locally.
I greatly appreciate your help!

I must add that I have thses lines at the start of the file too:
from clr import AddReference AddReference("System") AddReference("QuantConnect.Algorithm") AddReference("QuantConnect.Common") from System import * from QuantConnect import * from QuantConnect.Algorithm import * import numpy as np But clr and AddReference both are also unresolved!Derek Melchin
Hi Jambo,
The clr AddReference just adds a reference to the C# binaries. The imports don't translate into python libraries that the autocomplete can use. We've been working on providing support for Python autocomplete locally, but it is not ready for release yet.

I am using pycharm and I also try to use the AddReference to run script locally. It gives me the error "ImportError: cannot import name 'AddReference' from 'clr'". Was there any progress made with the AddReference import in the meantime?
from clr import AddReference AddReference("System") AddReference("QuantConnect.Algorithm") AddReference("QuantConnect.Common")Derek Melchin
Hi Goofball,
I was unable to reproduce this import error. What is the version number of the clr package?
>Was there any progress made with the AddReference import in the meantime?
Yes, we've recently added support for python autocomplete with PyCharm.

I was able to get around the clr import issues with some reinstall of python and leveraging pythonnet. That resolved the clr import error.
