By time, I am installing more and more python modules and my site packages directory has been huge. So each time I open pycharm I have to wait about 15 minutes (or MORE) for indexing to finish. So my question is: how can I sort of specify the modules I need for my project only to get indexed instead of indexing my whole python installation ?

Tried to exclude the folder? – David Meu Apr 19 '21 at 15:50

The solution for this is keeping your virtual environments clean with only the packages necessary for one given project. Whatever environments/interpreters you specify in 1 PyCharm project will be indexed. – bad_coder Apr 20 '21 at 02:30

You can't. I think you should split the project in smaller units.

Not doing everything in one interpreter would be the simplest solution – SAPNONEXPERT Apr 19 '21 at 15:46

This is more of an PyCharm issue. I recommend one of the following:
- Update the PyCharm as there are bugs found in the indexing in older versions
- Use a different editor like VScode
- Or use virtual environments like anaconda (although this does cost some disk space)
