Pycharm cannot connect to console

Question

The following error is returned when I clicked the Python console tab in pycharm (bottom left):

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition with Anaconda plugin 2020.1\plugins\python-ce\helpers\pydev\pydevconsole.py", line 5, in <module>

    import _ssl             # if we can't import it, let the error propagate
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

I am not able to run the program:

and I am always stuck at connecting the console:

I never had this problem before not until I recently reset my computer. PATH was added too, to user environmental variables. How can I fix this?

It seems like a path issue that's arising as a result of the path variables not being found by pyCharm.

You can try the solutions proposed in another question since it seems very similar to your problem (in brief: you need to set manually add the PATH variables in PyCharm to the console)

You can also simplyedit python's site.py(in Lib dir) directly and set the path, though I would not highly recommend this:

from os.path import join, abspath, dirname
base_path = dirname(dirname(abspath(__file__)))
os.environ['PATH'] = '%s%s' % (
    os.environ['PATH'],
    join(base_path, 'Library', 'bin'),
)

Hey man thanks for the reply, i tried the solution provided by https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54175042/python-3-7-anaconda-environment-import-ssl-dll-load-fail-error and i worked, or sort of. Yes i got rid of the connecting to the console, but now I have a constant process of REPL communication. What should i do? – CountDOOKU Apr 18 '20 at 05:02

Thanks for your effort, but I somehow fixed it and now everything is back to normal (hopefully). Thanks – CountDOOKU Apr 18 '20 at 05:13
