Making PyCharm Recognize casapy Task for Easy Scripting

1. Download the MacOS X version of CASA binary and unpack it
2. Point PyCharm project interpreter to CASA.app/Contents/MacOS/python
3. Add CASA.app/Contents/Resources/python to the interpreter paths from within PyCharm. (From Project Interpreter Preferences, Click the gear icon -> More ... -> Click "show paths for the selected interpreter")

Now you should be able to import casapy high-level tasks to your scripts and PyCharm should recognize them. For example:

from gaincal import gaincal

gaincal(...)
...

Note that altough this import line is a legit import in casapy (it replaces the interactive version of the task with its own function), you still have to execute the actual script with casapy. We simply point PyCharm to CASA libraries to retrieve information from docstrings of casapy tasks here.
