如何在PyCharm 2017.3中将pandas设为默认包？

Got it, let's sort out this frustrating problem where you have to reinstall pandas every time you spin up a new project in PyCharm 2017.3. Here are two straightforward methods to make pandas a default package for all future projects:

Method 1: Set a Preconfigured Default Interpreter #

This works if you want all new projects to use the same Python environment (system-wide or a pre-made virtual env) that already has pandas installed.

• First, close any open projects to get back to PyCharm's welcome screen.
• Click Configure (bottom-right corner) → select Default Settings (this edits global settings, not just for one project).
• In the Default Settings window, navigate to Project Interpreter (under Project Settings).
• From the dropdown at the top, pick the interpreter you want to use as default (e.g., your system Python or a virtual env you've already set up). If pandas isn't installed here yet:
  • Click the + button on the right side of the interpreter list.
  • Search for "pandas" in the package list, select it, then click Install Package.
• Once that's done, click Apply then OK. Now every new project you create will automatically use this interpreter with pandas pre-installed.

Method 2: Create a Project Template with Pandas #

If you prefer using fresh virtual environments for each project but want pandas included by default, a project template is the way to go:

• Create a new temporary project first. Set up its interpreter (virtual env or whatever you prefer) and install pandas like you normally would.
• Once the project is set up and pandas works, go to File → Export to Template.
• Give your template a name (like "Pandas Base Project") and add a short description if you want. Follow the prompts to save it.
• Next time you create a new project, select Create from Template in the welcome screen, pick your saved template, and you'll get a new project with pandas already installed and ready to use.

A quick note: Make sure you're editing Default Settings (not the regular project-specific Settings) when setting the default interpreter—this is easy to mix up in 2017.3!
