I saw this question, but it doesn't help.
I just made a new project in IntelliJ, (Community 2020.1 EAP). This is a Linux OS (Mint 18.3).
In the left-hand panel I chose "Python".
When I have created it I go File --> Project structure. I click "Facets" in the left-hand panel. In the middle panel it says "No facets are configured" and under that "Detection".
I click the "+" sign and then where it says "Buildout Support facet will be added to the selected module" I click OK.
After that, in the middle panel, Buildout Support is highlighted, and in the right-hand part it says "Use paths from script:" (with a blank text field) and under the field "Set to <buildout-dir>/bin/django.py for proper Django support".
This leaves me very puzzled. It suggests that there is a setting "buildout-dir", and even supposing I can find a file "django.py" in a directory "bin" I haven't got a clue what I'm meant to enter in that box: the full path to "django.py"? The full path above "bin"?
Then I go looking on my machine for django.py:
369] mike@M17A ~/IdeaProjects/TempDjango $ locate django.py
/home/mike/.local/share/JetBrains/IdeaIC2020.1/python-ce/helpers/pycharm/teamcity/django.py
/home/mike/python_venvs/test_venv369/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/backends/django.py
Neither looks at all promising. Naturally I have tried "using these paths from script"... but as neither is a ".../bin/django.py" path I'm not surprised absolutely nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me what I should do? Can anyone explain what "buildout", "buildout support" and/or "buildout-dir" are meant to mean?
There is no Django support for IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition Python plug-in. This feature is available only for IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and PyCharm Professional edition.
