To create a Python package that can be imported into PyCharm projects, follow these steps:

1. Open PyCharm and create a new project if you haven't already [7].

2. In your project, create a new package by right-clicking on the project folder, selecting "New," and then choosing "Python Package" [2].

3. Name the package and create it. This will create a directory with an `__init__.py` file inside, making it a package [2].

4. Within the package, you can create Python modules (`.py` files) that contain your code.

5. To import the package or modules into your PyCharm projects, simply use the standard Python import statements in your code [1].

6. If you want to share your package with others, consider creating a `setup.py` file for packaging and distribution [4].

Remember to set up your Python interpreter and virtual environment appropriately within PyCharm [6]. This will ensure that your package works seamlessly with your PyCharm projects.
