Setting python interpreter in intellij in a multi language (scala/java/python) module

Question

As shown in the following screenshot the python 2.7.2 sdk is configured

enter image description here

Also:

the python facet was added to module "spark-parent"
the "python" directory was added as a source root

But as you can see all of the standard python imports are failing. Note that the custom spark python ('pyspark') classses ARE resolved. enter image description here

In response to the answer from Dwight Brown: changing the Project SDK away from java to python does not work in this mixed project: see screenshot below

@Victor I deleted the pycharm tag since I am using the python plugin in intellij and not pycharm. I guess they are more different than anticipated. — WestCoastProjects

Sorry, I deleted the comment for nothing :/ Idea? I don't know then, never tried to use python under idea.. — VP.

@VictorPolevoy It generally works very well. Just wonderful. This particular project is a bit complicated to configure. — WestCoastProjects

We are going offtopic here, but you interested me in making some research.. — VP.

almost there, the only thing you were missing is to set the Python interpreter for the actual facet. I had to restart Intellij in order for things to actually apply.

you had to restart intellij? that might be what I were missing. That's pretty extreme.

I have the same problem.

After some tries I found this solution

create a just empty module named java-dep-python etc then add it to project

<module relativePaths="false" type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
  <component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="true">
    <orderEntry type="jdk" jdkName="Python 2.7" jdkType="Python SDK" />
    <orderEntry type="sourceFolder" forTests="false" />
  </component>
</module>

change all your mixed modules to add this new empty module as dependency

<module relativePaths="true" type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
  <component name="FacetManager">
    <facet type="Python" name="Python">
      <configuration sdkName="Python 2.7" />
    </facet>
  </component>
  <component name="NewModuleRootManager" inherit-compiler-output="true">
    ... ...
    <orderEntry type="inheritedJdk" />
    <orderEntry type="module" module-name="java-dep-python" scope="PROVIDED" />
    ... ...
  </component>
</module>

Note that the PROVIDED keyword do help that this module is not required by any artifacts

It works for me, now that standard python imports are good.

the Project SDK needs to be set as well 'Command ;' and set the Project SDK to python SDK you intend to use.

This might be of some help as well. multiple languages in the same project in Intellij idea

For Project | Project SDK it is set to Java 1.7 That is not where python SDK is supposed to be set. Do you have more details or another suggestion?

Well I am trying this to set Project | Project SDK to Python 2.7.2 This has obvious disadvantage: breaks all the scala/java code. Do you have any comments or improvements on this?

Did you try the link for multiple languages?

For this project we need both python and scala/java in the SAME modules. That link talks about single-language modules.

I had the same question with a clj/py project. I followed the instructions and got the issue that I couldn't then run clj. This is the final status of my project setup.

Add a new python module to the project with the interpreter of your choice

Go back to Project settings and make sure that the default sdk up set up
