Your Pycharm has a hard time determining the path to the installed Python interpreter. Normally it automatically can, but if not, here are the steps:
- Expand the environment
- Then you will be asked for the path where Python is installed
- Navigate to the directory where Python is installed and select the Python executable
This section from the Pycharm docs will help you:

I had this problem. I had changed the name of my module, but the old name still persisted here and there. I fixed it in the Python plugin for IntelliJ IDEA — deleting the old module and recreating it from sources — and then it worked in PyCharm. It might have been possible to fix it in PyCharm, I was just switching IDEs out of frustration.

в моей установке python нет ничего необычного, она находится в C:/Python27 как и следовало ожидать. Он всегда работал, но последние несколько недель что-то изменилось.
Я запускаю Win7. Системная переменная PATH указывает на C:/Python27 как и должно быть.

I’ve done a whole bunch of coding in Pycharm. Now all of a sudden it won’t run any of my Python files anymore. It pulled up this menu:
As you can see, it’s demanding that I select a valid Python interpreter. However, when I try to choose one from the drop-down list, the only thing available is «Project Default (none).»
What gives? This thing was working before. My coding files still run in Geany.
OS = Kubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS. I haven’t made any significant changes to the OS. I did install the trial version of a help authoring tool named HelpBlocks. I also needed to reinstall the Kubuntu software install library, Discover. That shouldn’t have affected Python’s availability in PyCharm.
Edit: Now that I think about it, I did allow Pycharm to update itself.
Second edit: I seem to have found the interpreter in the configuration and now it works. I guess the update must have deselected it.
error:please select a valid Python interpreter
Я установил Anaconda, и среда не была настроена впоследствии.
Причины проблемы:

Your problem probably is that you haven’t installed python. Meaning that, if you are using Windows, you have not downloaded the installer for Windows, that you can find on the official Python website.
In case you have, chances are that PyCharm cannot find your Python installation because its not in the default location, which is usually C:Python27
or C:Python33
(for me at least).
So, if you have installed Python and it still gives this error, then there can be two things that have happened:
- You use a
virtualenv
and thatvirtualenv
has been deleted or the filepath changed. In this case, you will have to find proceed to the next part of this answer. - Your python installation is not in its default place, in which case you will need to find its location, and locate the
python.exe
file.
Once you have located the necessary binaries, you will need to tell PyCharm were to look:
- Open your settings dialogue CTRL + ALT + S
-
Then you will need to type in
interpreter
in the search box: -
As you can see above, you will need to go to
Project Interpreter
and then go toPython Interpreter
. The location has been selected for you in the above image. -
To the side you will see a couple of options as icons, click the big
+
icon, then click onlocal
, because your interpreter is on this computer. -
This will open up a dialogue box. Make sure to select the
python.exe
file of that directory, do not give pycharm the whole directory. It just wants the interpreter.

This situation occurred to me when I uninstalled a method and tried to reinstall it. My very same interpreter, which worked before, suddenly stopped working. And this error occurred.
I tried restarting my PC, reinstalling Pycharm, invalidating caches, nothing worked.
Then I went here to reinstall the interpreter:
https://www.python.org/downloads/
When you install it, there’s an option to fix the python.exe interpreter. Click that. My IDE went back to normal working conditions.

for mac I can tell you that first you have to check your path
by executing this command
which python
or which python3
then you have to configure it in your pycharm.
pycharm—>preferences—>gear button—>add..
click on system interpreter—> then on …
then you search where your python version is installed
once it is done then you have to configure for your project
click on edit configuration
then choose the python interpreter

Even I got the same issue and my mistake was that I didn’t download python MSI file. You will get it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Once you download the msi, run the setup and that will solve the problem. After that you can go to File->Settings->Project Settings->Project Interpreter->Python Interpreters
and select the python.exe file. (This file will be available at c:Python34)
Select the python.exe file. That’s it.

In Linux, it was solved by opening PyCharm from the terminal and leaving it open. After that, I was able to choose the correct interpreter in preferences. In my case, linked to a virtual environment (venv).

I ran PyCharm (as administrator, though not sure if necessary).
After PyCharm has completely loaded (green tick mark top right), see bottom right. Click on it.
An interface will open. In my case the path was already there. I just clicked OK and all was fine.
closed PyCharm and ran it again normally. Still all fine.

When PyCharm stops supporting any of the outdated Python versions, the corresponding Python interpreter is marked as unsupported.
Path mappings
Click this button to configure an interpreter:
From the list, choose the one to be added:
Add : choose this option to add a locally residing Python interpreter. This includes also virtual environments and Conda environments. Also, choose this option to add a Python interpreter that resides remotely.

This button appears for Conda interpreters ONLY!
If this button is pressed, the Conda package manager is used. If this button is released, than pip is used.
The buttons on this toolbar are disabled for the Docker-based and Docker-Compose-based interpreters.
All the packages should be already installed in the Docker image. If some packages are missing, then you will have to create a new Docker image, as described on the page Quickstart Guide: Compose and Django.

Configure a system interpreter
To work with your Python code in PyCharm, you need to configure at least one interpreter. A system interpreter is the one that comes with your Python installation. You can use it solely for all Python scripts or take it as a base interpreter for Python virtual environments.
Configure a system Python interpreter
Ensure that you have downloaded and installed Python on your computer.
If you are on Windows, you can download Python from the Microsoft Store and install it as a Python interpreter. Once the Python application is downloaded from the Microsoft Store, it becomes available in the list of the Python executables. Note that interpreters added from the Microsoft Store installations come with some limitations. Because of restrictions on Microsoft Store apps, Python scripts may not have full write access to shared locations such as TEMP and the registry.
Do one of the following:
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the project Settings/Preferences and go to Project
If PyCharm detects no Python on your machine, it provides two options: to download the latest Python versions from python.org or to specify a path to the Python executable (in case of non-standard installation).
You will need admin privileges to install, remove, and upgrade packages for the system interpreter. When attempting to install an interpreter package through an intention action, you might receive the following error message: As prompted, consider using a virtual environment for your project.
Click OK to complete the task.

Configure a Python interpreter
Python interpreters in PyCharm
Python interpreters can be configured for a new project or for the current project (you can create a new interpreter or use one of the existing interpreters).
Setting an existing Python interpreter
Change the Python interpreter using the Python Interpreter selector
The Python Interpreter selector is located on the status bar. It is the most convenient and quickest way to switch the Python interpreter. Just click it and select the target interpreter:
Change the Python interpreter in the project settings
Select the target interpreter.
When PyCharm stops supporting any of the outdated Python versions, the corresponding Python interpreter is marked as unsupported.
When you change an SSH interpreter, you might need to synchronize local content with the target server. Mind a notification balloon in the lower-right corner. You can click one of the links to perform the following actions:
Auto-upload files to the server
Synchronize files and then enable auto-uploading
Modify a Python interpreter
You can specify an alternative interpreter name for the selected interpreter. The Python interpreter name specified in the Name field, becomes visible in the list of available interpreters. Click OK to apply the changes.
For remote interpreters (that are available in PyCharm Professional ) you can modify configuration parameters.
Creating a new Python interpreter
To add a new interpreter to the current project:
Do one of the following:
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open the project Settings/Preferences and go to Project
Choose the interpreter type to add and perform the specific settings:
Note that SSH, WSL, Vagrant, Docker, and Docker Compose are available only for the commercial version of PyCharm. WSL is Windows specific.
If New environment is selected:
If PyCharm detects no Python on your machine, it provides two options: to download the latest Python versions from python.org or to specify a path to the Python executable (in case of non-standard installation).
Select the Make available to all projects checkbox if you want to reuse this environment when creating Python interpreters in PyCharm.
If Existing environment is selected:
Select the Make available to all projects checkbox if you want to reuse this environment when creating Python interpreters in PyCharm.
Click OK to complete the task.
If you have added the user base’s binary directory to your PATH environmental variable, you don’t need to set any additional options: the path to the pipenv executable will be autodetected.
Click OK to complete the task.
Click OK to save the changes and complete the task.
If New environment is selected:
Select the Python version from the list.
Select the Make available to all projects checkbox if you want to reuse this environment when creating Python interpreters in PyCharm.

Click OK to complete the task.
In the next dialog window, provide the authentication details to connect to the target server.
Select Password or Key pair (OpenSSL or PuTTY) and enter your password or passphrase. If Key pair (OpenSSL or PuTTY) is selected, specify:
Private key file : location of the file with a private key
Passphrase : similar to a password, it serves to encrypt the private key.
The RFC 4716 format for OpenSSH keys is not supported by PyCharm. See the workaround.
Click Next to proceed with the final configuration step.
You can also select the lowest checkbox to enable automatic upload of the local changes to the remote server.
In the left-hand pane of the Add Python Interpreter dialog, click Vagrant :
This results in showing the link to Vagrant host URL.
The Python interpreter path field displays the path to the desired Python executable. You can accept default, or specify a different one.
Select the Linux distribution and specify the path to the python executable in the selected Linux distribution. Typically, you should be looking for wsl.exe but you can specify any non default WSL distro.
Python interpreter path should have the default value:
Click OK to complete the task.
In the dialog that opens, select the Docker Compose option, from the drop-down lists select the Docker server, Docker Compose service (here web ), configuration file (here docker-compose.yml ) and Python interpreter path (here python ).
Next, wait while PyCharm starts your Docker Compose configuration to scan and index:
Click OK to complete the task.
When a remote Python interpreter is added, at first the PyCharm helpers are copied to the remote host. PyCharm helpers are needed to run remotely the packaging tasks, debugger, tests and other PyCharm features. Next, the skeletons for binary libraries are generated and copied locally. Also all the Python library sources are collected from the Python paths on a remote host and copied locally along with the generated skeletons. Storing skeletons and all Python library sources locally is required for resolve and completion to work correctly. PyCharm checks remote helpers version on every remote run, so if you update your PyCharm version, the new helpers will be uploaded automatically and you don’t need to recreate remote interpreter. SFTP support is required for copying helpers to the server.
Setting the default interpreter
In PyCharm, you can specify an interpreter that will be automatically set for all newly created projects.
From the main menu, select File | New Projects Setup | Settings for New Projects (on Window and Linux) or File | New Projects Setup | Preferences for New Projects (on macOS).
The change will become effective for all newly created projects in PyCharm.
Managing interpreter packages
For each interpreter, you can install, upgrade, and delete Python packages. By default, PyCharm uses pip to manage project packages. For Conda environments you can use the Conda package manager.

Пытаясь заставить PyCharm работать, продолжайте получать «интерпретатор Python не выбран»,
Я пытаюсь изучить Python и решил использовать PyCharm. Когда я пытаюсь запустить новый проект, я получаю диалог, в котором говорится: «No Python C: Python27 selected». У него есть раскрывающийся список, чтобы выбрать интерпретатор, но выпадающий пуст.

Вероятно, ваша проблема заключается в том, что вы не установили python. Это означает, что если вы используете Windows, вы не загрузили установщик для Windows, который вы можете найти на официальном сайте Python.
В случае, если у вас есть, есть вероятность, что PyCharm не сможет найти вашу установку Python, потому что она не находится в местоположении по умолчанию, которое обычно C:Python33 или virtualenv (по крайней мере для меня).
После того, как вы найдете необходимые бинарные файлы, вам нужно будет сказать, что PyCharm должны были выглядеть:
Затем вам нужно будет ввести interpreter в поле поиска:
Это откроет диалоговое окно. Обязательно выберите python.exe файл этого каталога, не дайте pycharm весь каталог. Он просто хочет переводчика.
Идти к File->Settings->Project Settings->Project Interpreter->Python Interpreters
На правой стороне будет знак «+». Перейдите к вашему двоичному файлу python, PyCharm выяснит остальное.
Эта ситуация возникла, когда я удалил метод и попытался его переустановить. Мой тот же самый переводчик, который работал раньше, внезапно прекратил работать. И эта ошибка произошла.
Я попытался перезагрузить свой компьютер, переустановить Pycharm, сделать недействительными кеши, ничего не получилось.
Затем я перешел сюда для переустановки переводчика: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Когда вы устанавливаете его, есть возможность исправить интерпретатор python.exe. Нажмите на нее. Моя IDE вернулась к нормальным условиям работы.
Во время установки python убедитесь, что вы выбрали «Установить для всех пользователей». Удалите python и выполните выборочную установку и установите флажок «Установить для всех пользователей».
Даже у меня такая же проблема, и я ошибся в том, что я не загружал файл MSI python. Вы получите его здесь: https://www.python.org/downloads/
После загрузки msi запустите настройку, и это решит проблему. После этого вы можете перейти в Файл-> Настройки-> Настройки проекта-> Переводчик проекта-> Переводчики Python

PyCharm doesn’t detect interpreter
I’m new to programming and just started a course on Python. I want to use PyCharm, so I downloaded and intalled it (v. 4.5, community edition). I had previously installed Python 3.5 64-bit from python.org (I’m using Windows 10).
To start using PyCharm, I need a project interpreter, which I can select in the settings. As far as I’m concerned, the interpreter is «py.exe», but when I select it, I get this error message: «The selected file is not a valid home for Python SDK». I also tried to use every file whose name contained «python» or «py», and failed.
On every website and video I see, they select a file called «python.exe», but they’re using Python 3.4 or a previous version. I checked that PyCharm supports 3.5 («Initial support for Python 3.5»).
Is there anything I’m doing wrong? What should I do to be able to use PyCharm?
All replies are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Now, in the Virtualenv Environment tab under the New environment radio button, check the path in the ‘Base interpreter:’ field. For me, mine was set to an invalid path. Once I had corrected the path to point to python.exe I recreated my new project and PyCharm built the virtualenv.
For me there was a bit more too. When creating the new project I expanded the drop down and had to verify the directory where the venv directory was being created. Once I had corrected the path here I had to click around a bit to get it to let me create the project.
I’m going to chaulk this up to a bug. I’m using Community edition.
When creating a project in PyCharm, if the interpret is not already selected, in the drop down menu under the projects «Location:», you can click the gear-looking icon to the right of the interpreter option, and click «Add Local»; then select the file location of the python.exe file that you have installed. It will probably be C:Python35Python.exe
I faced a Similar issue and was not able to find Python interpreter anywhere on the system.
The problem with it was that python was installed directly with default settings and there was no exe found in
and to solve this i tried uninstalling and reinstalling with custom settings and selecting allow for all users as well which did the trick and path was set correctly to
After which Pycharm was able to detect the interpreter on this path.

I’ve been trying to setup my python workspace on vscode but the software doesn’t seem to pick up the fact that I have python installed, and keeps telling me to install python. I’ve tried manually adding the path of the .exe file but the «invalid interpreter prompt» shows up every single time. Just for proof of me having the correct path in the settings here’s a screenshot of the .json file and
the command prompts I used to obtain the path.

On my device (VSCode 1.71.2, Python extension 2022.14.0) I could solve the problem by clearing the python interpreter setting.
For this, use Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette. Then, enter Python: Clear Workspace Interpreter Setting
. On the next panel, select to delete all.
After this, you should be able to select an interpreter by entering Python:Select Interpreter
in the command palette.

First, make sure you have the python extension installed.
Then follow the steps below to choose an interpreter for vscode:
-
Use Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette
-
search for
Python:Select Interpreter
(or click select interpreter in the lower right corner) -
If the panel shows an interpreter, select the available interpreter. If the panel doesn’t have an interpreter option. Please select the first item
Enter interpreter path
-
Then paste the full path to your
python.exe
(or go to explorer by selectingFind
and select yourpython.exe
)
If it still fails, try installing the pre-release python extension.

For me, after investigating the problem in this issue, I found that the problem had to do with my ComSpec
environment variable. This environment variable needs to be set to C:Windowssystem32cmd.exe

I tried all the suggestions above, none worked. I even tried reinstalling it, no luck.
What worked was downgrading to the previous version (in my case v2022.12.1
