I have a 2 simple projects with simple python scripts. No other users, no java, no databases, no deployment, nothing complicated at all. I've excluded both project folders. I've downloaded shared indexes, even though I see now that I don't need shared indexes, since I'm a lone programmer. I see from searching for answers online, that this issue has been a problem since 2016! I installed the latest PyCharm v2021.3.2. hoping that this bug was fixed. Nothing seems to work. I've let it index for HOURS!! I need to be able to run my scripts. I've been trying to correct this problem for a week and I'm out of time. My work project is now a week behind, and my client is getting angry with me and this is coming out of my pocket!

You can stop synchronizing/indexing each time you switch to the IDEA and it's quite useful when dealing with big projects and outside build process which triggers indexing.
Just disable checkbox System Settings -> Synchronize files on frame or editor tab activation.
Make sure you run indexing manually to update hints when needed through Synchronize menu (Cmd-Alt-Y on Mac) or File -> Reload All from Disk to run it manually for IDEA 2020 running under Linux

Synchronize external changes when switching to the IDE window or opening an editor tab. So I unchecked it, closed pycharm and restarted it. And now its trying to update indexes again. – MissMay Feb 07 '22 at 22:06

It keeps indexing over and over again. It says "Indexing completed in 19 min, 50 sec. Shared indexes were applied to 37% of files (200 of 527)". But its still running again and never stops. and its updating the Python interpreter over and over again. – MissMay Feb 07 '22 at 22:30
