I have few python projects Iv'e created in PyCharm, and I would like to open them in VS 2015 without copy the python files one by one to a new project.

Is it possible to import PyCharm project into VS2015?

Hi Ron Amihai,

If the PyCharm project has a .sln file or a .pyproj file, we could open it in Visual Studio 2015 directly when your Visual Studio 2015 has installed Python Tools for Visual Studio 2015.

If there doesn't have .sln or .pyproj file, we could copy the python files with following steps, which could copy all files at one time.

  1. Open Visual Studio 2015 which has installed Python Tools for Visual Studio 2015.
  2. Create a Python project through New -> Project -> Templates -> Python -> Python Application.
  3. Right-click the Python project in Solution Explorer windows to choose "Open folder in File Explorer".
  4. Copy all files into the project path that has been opened in File Explorer and close the File Explorer.
  5. Select the project in Solution Explorer and click the "Show all files" option on top of Solution Explorer to show the files that copied to this folder.
  6. Select all this files/folders with "Ctrl + click the files/folders" and then right-click to choose "Include In Project" to include these files into project at one time.
