Unable to debug in PyCharm because of an ImportError in pydevconsole.py

I am suddenly getting the following error in PyCharm whenever I try to debug my code. This seems to be happening only when I try to debug a specific project and the error doesn't seem to occur in other projects.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevd.py", line 14, in <module>
    from pydevd_breakpoints import * #@UnusedWildImport
  File "/Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevd_breakpoints.py", line 15, in <module>
    from pydevd_comm import GetGlobalDebugger
  File "/Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevd_comm.py", line 74, in <module>
    import pydevconsole
  File "/Applications/PyCharm.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py", line 8, in <module>
    from code import compile_command
ImportError: cannot import name compile_command

I searched around and found this answer, but it didn't work for me since I have no additional code.py in my project.

UPDATE:

I created a new project in PyCharm and moved the files the files to the new project and was able to debug..

We added env setting DISABLE_DEBUGPY, wo we do not import debugpy when using PyCharm.

I removed the empty init.py file, from my directory and reran the debugger in PyCharm. It worked for me.

As said before, this was caused by a module named code (i.e. a directory named code with a __init__.py in it). I renamed it to src and it corrected the bug.

A directory called 'code' that had somehow acquired an empty __init__.py file caused this for me. I suppose that's technically a module!

Edit: This happened again. Pycharm itself is creating these __init__.py files. I haven't found out what's triggering it yet though.

I had same question, because i have a unrelated sub directory where contains file code.py, actually i did not use it as code, i just use it as data file to do some word counting test.

Finally, i move the sub directory out of the project. ... test_data_file_dir ... code.py ... ...

It seems pyCharm will load all .py files of the project no matter of how i use them.
