title: IntelliJ/PyCharm Project Structure for Existing Python Application
body: <p>I recently purchased the IntelliJ-IDEA 13 for use of downloading the Python plugin (which I am told has the same code-base as PyCharm) and working on a python web project (specifically Flask). I thought it would be a near seamless transfer from Sublime text but I am having some trouble.</p>
  
  <p>So here is my problem: I am trying to import an existing Python application (as said earlier that is using Flask) but I cannot set the file correct file structure when importing my project.</p>
  
  <p>My existing/current project is set up as so (it is modeled after most Flask applications):</p>
  
  <pre><code>/Base Directory
      /app
          /static
              *CSS/JS/IMGs go here*
          /templates
              *Templates go here*
          __init__.py
          forms/models/routes.py
      run.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If you want to see the actual project, it is available on my <a href="https://github.com/EpicDavi/SpeedRunTimersWebsite" rel="nofollow noreferrer">GitHub Project Page</a>.</p>
  
  <p>IntelliJ apparently has the feature to import existing code into a project, however whenever I go to <code>Import Project</code>, and selecting my <code>Base Directory</code> folder, it always turns out like this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/6xspD.png" alt="When I try to Import a Project"></p>
  
  <p>When I create a <code>New Project -&gt; Flask Project (or any other Python project type)</code> it ends up looking like this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xIbT0.png" alt="When I create a New Flask Project"></p>
  
  <p>The latter is more of what I am looking for (seeing the other files inside of the project, instead of just the root folder).</p>
  
  <p><strong>So my question is:</strong> Is there a way to adapt my current file structure to work with IntelliJ/PyCharm or vice-versa (and be able to work with the other files)? Or is there a quick fix or mistake that I am making?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance, and remember my project page is <a href="https://github.com/EpicDavi/SpeedRunTimersWebsite" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>.</p>
