I have recently started using Python and Docker. As a novice, I wanted to configure PyCharm on Windows to use my Docker Python image. Here are couple of things I had to do to successfully accomplish this:
- Your Project folder must be inside your Windows home folder, i.e. c:\users\user. If not, PyCharm will not be able to run your Python file
- Next, ensure that Docker is selected as a “Remote Python Interpreter”. Obviously as a prerequisite you must install Docker and pull Python image. If done correctly, PyCharm should recognize the interpreter
- With this you should be able to run your Python code directly against Docker image
