The work around i use is:

import sys
import os
try:
    import test_data
except ImportError:
    sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__))
    try:
        import test_data
    finally:
        sys.path.remove(os.path.dirname(__file__))

A friend told me that one can also add the directory entries to some include directories.

Please try PyCharm 2.5.1 RC, there was a bug with sys.path building (it contained incorrect, duplicated project source directory).

If it's not the case, you can mark additional directories as Source in Preferences | Project Structure or add them to the Paths in the Python Interpreters.
