PyCharm module import error
<p>I am new to PyCharm and am having difficulty importing modules that I have written into the Python console. If I try to import a module that is native to Python I can import that module without difficulty but if I try to import a module that I have written I get an ImportError: No module named 'ModuleITriedToImportName'. For instance here is a simple self written module to pickle files called "filepickle":</p>

<pre><code>import pickle

def saveDbase(filename, object):
    file = open(filename, 'wb')
    #pickle.dump(object, file)       # pickle to file
    #pickle.dump(object, open(filename, 'wb'))
    pickle.dump(object, file)
    file.close()                     # any file-like object will do

def loadDbase(filename):
    file = open(filename, 'rb')
    object = pickle.load(file)       # unpickle from file
    file.close()                     # recreates object in memory
    return object
</code></pre>

<p>If I try to "import pickle" at the PyCharm Python Console then the import works without any error. If I try to "import filepickle" I receive the error message:</p>

<pre><code>ImportError: No module named 'filepickle'
</code></pre>

<p>The module filepickle works just fine if I run filepickle within PyCharm but I am unable to import filepickle in the Python console. If anybody knows how to get PyCharm to allow me to import modules that I have written into the PyCharm Python console I would appreciate the help.</p>
