PyCharm / Django Setup: Can't import encoding from email?

I was asked to contribute to some production Python / Django code. I am setting it up in PyCharm. When I run the application, I receive the following error message:

File "/myApp/myVirtualEnvironment/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/mail/message.py",
 line 8, in <module>
  from email import (charset as Charset, encoders as Encoders)
   ImportError: cannot import name charset

What could be causing this?

This could be caused by a name-tracking trap .

The reason may be that you are hiding the Charset class , which is defined in the email.charset module on import from email import (charset as Charset, encoders as Encoders)

.



Another likely cause supported by this issue :
If you check your file tree, you may find a file named charset.py

or charset.py

that obscures the above

Find your files and you will find what casts a shadow.
