Problems with pyimagej module imagej not found

Question

I installed pyimagej:

pip3 install pyimagej

After installing it, I created a conda imagej environment.

conda create -n imagej -c conda-forge openjdk=8 pyimagej

In my pycharm IDE I set the right python interpreter in my imagej environment.

My script starts with:

import imagej
ij = imagej.init()

from ij import IJ

It gives me the error

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ij'

I don't understand, as the python interpreter definitely has the package pyimage in it.

Thanks for help!

The same issue was already posted here: https://forum.image.sc/t/cannot-find-imagej-module-after-installing-pyimagej-with-conda/23190/5 but there was no solution to it.
