PyCharm recognizes buildout support in existing projects. However, you have to perform the following general steps as prerequisites (outside of PyCharm):
- Add
buildout.cfgandsetup.pyfiles to the root directory of your project. - Check out
bootstrap.pyand place it to the root directory of your project. - Execute
bootstrap.pyto create thebuildoutdirectory structure, downloadbuildout.exe, and the other dependencies. - Execute
bin\buildout.exescript. This will download the dependencies and generate a runner script for each of the parts listed inbuildout.cfg.

Enable buildout support | This checkbox is selected automatically, when PyCharm detects buildout in your project. In this case, all the references in the source code are resolved according to the settings specified in buildout.cfg file. |
| Use paths from script | Select the script that contains the paths to be used for resolving references in the source code. By default, PyCharm suggests buildout-script.py (for Windows) or buildout.sh (for the other operating systems). However, you can specify any of the runner scripts, generated by bin\buildout.exe, depending on the specific tasks of your project. |
