I have PyCharm professional edition, and I have been trying to PyCharm and Django. However, it seems that I could not enable Django support in PyCharm. As shown in the following figure, when I try to enable Django support in the PyCharm setting, there is nothing shown for Django.
Can anyone help me identify the issue?
That's because you haven't created a project yet. You get this screen because you're still in the step before creating a project.
Create a new project
Select Django on the left column
Enter a name for your project
Select (or create on the fly) a virtualenv
Click the Create button
Now, after project has been created, you can go to Languages & Frameworks => Django and then enable the Django support by selecting your project root directory and your settings.py file.

According to some PyCharm tutorials the database should be automatically recognised and should appear on the database windows. This is not the case.
According to other PyCharm tutorials I should be able to drag the db.sqlite3 file into the database windows to automatically connect to the database and this is also not working.
Could someone guide me step by step and explain how do I connect to the DB and how I visualise its content?
Thank you for your help
In order to create a db you have to run the command python manage.py migrate in your command prompt or terminal
You need to click the + button, then Data Source, and in your case, select SQLite from the dropdown. After that, in the new window, select the actual db.sqlite3 file.
My context
I'm educating myself with Python Flask via the official tutorial.
I'm using Pycharm IDE (community edition) in Ubuntu Destkop 16.
The issue
I open the sample code of this tutorial as a Pycharm project
Got the Invalid Python interpreter error as below snapshot
My question
How can I fix it?
It's looking for a functional Python installation.
If you open the 2 drop-down you've referenced you'll see a selection of Python installations on your machine.
The better option though, is to create a virtualenv for your current project, so click on the cog icon to the right of the Project Interpreter drop-down and click Create VirtualEnv and follow the prompts.
Once created, it should pick that VirtualEnv as the default Python interpreter for that project and your error will disappear, though remember, because it's a new virtualenv, it won't yet have Flask etc installed on it. You can install the Flask library by clicking the + icon underneath the cog and searching/installing for Flask.
Alternatively, create a requirements.txt file on your project root directory, with Flask as the contents, and PyCharm will notice that next time you are in a .py file and suggest to automatically install Flask.

I am trying to create my 1st project in django using jython. I am following this tutorial - http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/.
As mentioned in tutorial, I navigate to the directory where i intend to create a django project and run 'jython C:\jython2.5.1\Lib\site-packages\django\bin\django-admin.py'. On pressing enter, it says- Type 'django-admin.py help' for usage.
It is not creating a new project. I am using windows and have installed jython 2.5.1 and django 1.1.1.
I tried searching on google but no luck. This is the very first step and i am not getting how to do it. please help.
You need to type django_admin.py startproject your_project, where your_project is whatever you want to call your project.
