different issue. not finding the interpreter is pretty much always a 
path issue.

You don't say which operating system you're using.  There are pages for 
the three main ones in the docs that might help, linked off of here:

https://docs.python.org/3/using/

If this is a problem *inside* PyCharm, you probably just have to 
re-teach it where to find an interpreter, whether to use a virtualenv, 
etc. PyCharm has decent enough docs on that if you just look for 
interpreter.
