MySQLdb missing image error from PyCharm IDE when django sync

Solution:

You can set the environment used by launchd (and, by extension, anything started from Spotlight) with launchctl setenv.

For example to set the path:

launchctl setenv PATH /opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

Or if you want to set up your path in .bashrc or similar, then have it mirrored in launchd:

PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

    launchctl setenv PATH $PATH

There's no need to reboot (though you will need to restart an app if you want it to pick up the changed environment.)
