Unresolved QCAlgorithm in pycharm by Jambo dev

| Reward Discussion

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!

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")

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.
