How do I configure a Python interpreter in IntelliJ IDEA with the PyCharm plugin?
intellij-idea, python
Solution
With the Python plugin installed:
- Navigate to File > Project Structure.
- Under the Project menu for Project SDK, select "New" and
- Select "Python SDK", then select "Local".
Provided you have a Python SDK installed, the flow should be natural from there - navigate to the location your Python installation lives.
Problem
There is a tutorial in the IDEA docs on how to add a Python interpreter in PyCharm, which involves accessing the "Project Interpreter" page. Even after installing the Python plugin, I don't see that setting anywhere. Am I missing something obvious?
