Install flask with pycharm and app engine

I'm using pycharm (4.0.1) on windows, I created a new app engine project, tested, project ran.

In project settings I added a virtual environment where I installed flask. Everything seems to be fine, interpreter points to my virtual environment and when I start typing in pycharm from flask import Flask it autocompletes import.

When I run project it's buildt with no errors. But when I access a page in a browser I get the following error:

File "C:\GAP\myproject\main.py", line 1, in <module>
    from flask import Flask
ImportError: No module named flask

Does anyone know what's the problem?

P.S. ** I followed instructions on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRI3QGNWJYI **

have you ran 

pip install flask

also to use flask with google app engine on production environment , you will have to place the flask folder within your project (e.g in a lib/ folder) and add it to the system path in the appengine_config.py like this:

sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'lib'))

Windows Pycharm, you can go to File->Settings->Project interpreter, click the green + button (Install), type in flask, select Flask from the list then click Install Package. After installation, you will get the message saying flask installed successfully. You can rerun the project.
