🔒 Python interpreter problem | Python | Page 1

My PC broke. I bought a new laptop and downloaded PyCharm and selected the python interpretor. Now every time I use PyCharm, Python Setup pops up 4 times and I am unable to close it. Modifying anything in it results in errors. PyCharm doesn't know basic functions such as len() or bool(). Please help me get PyCharm to actually recognize Python and the mysterious Setup problem.

Remember to:

Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Have you tried uninstalling PyCharm completely then reinstalling it?

zenith summit May 24, 2024, 4:05 PM

#

I want to do that as my very last option. I tried googling answers for this and they hinted me to some windows 7 service pack.

#

I mean if there is another way to do it, I'd rather do it that way

#

I want to do an experiment. Locate some .py file in explorer that you can test with and double-click on it.

#

It's possible you associated the Python setup executable with the file extension.

coarse bronze It's possible you associated the Python setup executable with the file extension...

It's called Python 3.12.3 (64-bit) Setup

coarse bronze May 24, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

ok

#

Can you test that?

zenith summit May 24, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

I'll try

You did install Python itself, right?

#

@zenith summit Any luck?

ofc

#

coarse bronze <@757597650043273227> Any luck?

It opened the file without any problem

#

So should I simply edit the code through my IDE and use explorer to open it every time?

#

No, if you select the correct interpreter it should work fine in PyCharm. Are you sure you didn't select a venv?

zenith summit May 24, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

I'll check

#

My interpreter is python 3.13

#

The setup that opens is 3.12.3

#

Perhaps I should switch my interpreter to 3.12.3?

#

It's wierd because If I know right, 3.13 isn't out yet

coarse bronze May 24, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

There's a prerelease but you probably want to be using 3.12.3

#

Yeah, you installed 3.12.3 so you should use that

zenith summit May 24, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

okay. I'll try to change the interpreter

#

I tried it and it made the broken setup you can't get away pop up again.

coarse bronze May 24, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

Ok. Uninstall PyCharm completely then reinstall it.

zenith summit May 24, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

ok then

#

I'll just retry doing it tomorrow

coarse bronze May 24, 2024, 4:29 PM

#

Ok. If you have any problems just make another thread.

#

Someone will be here to help.

zenith summit May 24, 2024, 5:06 PM

#

okay. Thank you for your assistence
