That’s not much of a puzzle (a game, toy, or problem designed to test
ingenuity or knowledge, as defined by Oxford American College
Dictionary via http://google.com/search?q=define+puzzle ).  That’s a
problem.

$PATH contains paths to directories, not binaries.  Change that line to:

export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.3/bin

If that is not enough to make pycharm do it, you may try to install
from the Terminal:

cd /path/to/your/virtualenv
bin/pip install psycopg2
