Hi, I'm trying to use the CANBasic API for Python. I have downloaded the API folder for linux .. in the folder is a PCANBasic.h file which is a C file.. and the libpcanbasic.so as well as the examples folder (containing python folder, which includes PCANBAsic.py, PCANBasic.pyc and PCANBasicExample.pyw) .. and PCANBasic folder.
I do a make all on the project to install the PCANBasic Api first..
I am having trouble installing the API into my Python IDE (Pycharm). I have a python file readwrite.py in my project under a folder called src.

project----src----readwrite.py

I do an import PCANBasic in my python script to call the API
however I cannot seem to make pycharm import the PCANBasic API.. I have tried importing the PCANBasic.py script into the same level as the readwrite.py

project ----src-----readwrite.py, PCANBasic.py

I have no idea how to import this API so that I can start using its functions.. I've tried searching google for Pycharm rated library import subjects.. but it would be helpful if I knew which file in the PCANBasic Api i need to point to to use the import function in python..

please could anyone help with this?

best regards,
Nicholas

Please ask in the pycharm community. We could not support all available IDE for every programming language.
Our Python sample work fine and is tested (using CharDev Driver and PCAN-Basic LIB)
Best is you first try out if our sample work fine on your system -then you know it´s a IDE problem.
