Package import named differently than in requirements.txt causes PyCharm warning

This issue does not cause an actual problem when running the code, but rather is an issue of a PyCharm warning that I would like resolved so other programmers working on the project do not have to waste time investigating. The issue is that I have an import statement referencing an installed package:

import barcode

However, in my requirements.txt file the package is listed as:

python-barcode==0.10.0

This causes PyCharm to generate a warning stating that:

Package containing module 'barcode' is not listed in project requirements less... (Ctrl+F1) Inspection info: This inspection warns about imported or required, but not installed packages.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a way I could permanently avoid this warning for future programmers working in their own IDE, perhaps via a directive in the requirements.txt file, or something to that effect.

To handle such cases PyCharm team has scrapped PyPI once, the result mapping is bundled with the IDE and is stored in <PyCharm_installation_path>/helpers/tools/packages. It was a while ago so new packages are missing. See the ticket in PyCharm's bug tracker https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-27985

Feel free to edit helpers/tools/packages manually and File | Invalidate Cache & Restart to apply changes.

Update: in PyCharm 2020.3.x the packages list is located in plugins\python\lib\python.jar archive. File tools\packages inside it.
