IntelliJ IDEA 14 does not recognize Python built-in types when using interpreter in virtualenv

Question

I am using IntelliJ IDEA 14 on OSX for a Python project that uses a virtual environment. The program works fine both in the terminal and with the run command inside IDEA, but it does not recognize Python built-in types and functions.

I created a virtual environment and added it to my project structure, following the instructions below, which, according to the messages I read, should work, but I can’t understand what is going wrong.

• Added Python to venv as an SDK project.

2. Added Python to venv as a Python interpreter in modules.

3. Added Python in venv as Python interpreter in Facets.

4. Ensure that the selected Python interpreter is the selected SDK.

5. These are global libraries.

[Update]

Following one of the comments below, I created a virtual environment from scratch. The built-in types for Python are now recognized, but the libraries in the venv folder are not.

Answer 1

You need to put the Python 2.7.x interpreter library depending on your python module. Not enough SDK for python.
