Exactly! PyCharm is pointing out that the variable "package" in the "for" loop shadows the "package" parameter in the "install_and_import" function. To avoid this and improve code clarity, you can rename one of them. For example, you can change the loop variable to "pkg":
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
import subprocess
import importlib

def install_and_import(package):
    try:
        importlib.import_module(package)
        print(f"{package} is already installed.")
    except ImportError:
        print(f"{package} not found. Installing...")
        subprocess.check_call(["python", "-m", "pip", "install", package])
        importlib.import_module(package)
        print(f"{package} has been installed.")

required_packages = ['faker']

for pkg in required_packages:
    install_and_import(pkg)

# Sample script using faker
from faker import Faker

fake = Faker()
print("Random Name:", fake.name())
print("Random Address:", fake.address())
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, the variable "pkg" in the loop clearly indicates that it's different from the "package" parameter in the function, and you should no longer see the "shadows name" warning.

This keeps your code clean and reduces any potential confusion.
