PyCharm - Django settings honoured in run config but not in python console

While setting up my django project in PyCharms I am having trouble configuring the python shell for django. My project structure is as follows:

- mysite_root
    - deployment
        - ...ansible files
    - mysite
        - __init__.py
        - manage.py
        - mysite
            - __init__.py
            - settings.py
            - local_dev_settings.py
        - app1
            - __init__.py
            - ...other files
        - app2
            - __init__.py
            - ...other files

The Sources root is set to mysite_root/mysite My Run/Debug configuration has the environment variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.local_dev_settings & it works perfectly. Inside the Project settings under Language & Frameworks --> Django the configuration is as follows:

- Django project root -- <path to mysite_root/mysite>
- Settings -- mysite/local_dev_settings.py
- Manage script -- manage.py
- Environment variables -- DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=mysite.local_dev_settings

Now, while launching the Python Console or Manage.py Tasks via Tools, I get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Found the resolution myself.

The issue was that under Build, Execution, Deployment -> Console -> Django Console both Content & Sources root were included & hence mysite_root/mysite came before mysire_root/mysite/mysite due to which PyCharm failed in loading the settings, even though it should have looked in the latter package as well. Upon disabling the option Add Contents root to PYTHONPATH, everything started working fine. :)
