title: Finding import path in pycharm
body: <p>I am using pycharm version 3.4 on ubuntu and have a project with the following structure:</p>
  
  <p><code>~/project/src/python/utils/sub1/sub2/sub3/my_code.py</code></p>
  
  <p>the utils folder also contains an <code>__init__.py</code> file which offers a number of utility functions. I want to include some of them, but it wouldn't find it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from project.src.python.utils import read_utf8
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I followed this post, which seemed to discuss the same problem:
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10909857/how-can-i-get-pycharm-to-find-the-right-paths-if-i-open-a-directory-that-is-not">PyCharm can&#39;t find the right paths if I open a directory that is not the Django root</a></p>
  
  <p>But changing <code>~/project</code> to a "source" folder didn't help. This isn't a typo on my side, as it should at least find "project" when trying to import something from it, but </p>
  
  <pre><code>import project
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>also gives my an "unresolved reference" error.</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>edit: I should add that I cannot change the code, as it is a shared project. I need that exact import line to work on my machine. My counterpart uses eclipse, were it seems to be easier to add a path to additional code.</p>
