How do I change my python to 3.9?
I had to do a clean re-install of my system, and have reinstalled pycharme. The library I am need to use requires python 3.9, but the interpreter is 3.8.
How do I set up a new environment to use python 3.9, which I have installed on my system to use the package that requires 3.9?
I am so lost now…
thanks

Interesting question. My first advice is to NOT update your system python version. Use something like pyenv to manage multiple instances:
https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv
https://realpython.com/intro-to-pyenv/
Once you have an alternate python installed then use its virtual environment mechanism to provide Pycharm with access to it. You can create a project specific virtual environment via PyCharm
File→ New Project
use existing sources
→ either create new venv or point to existing one
I know these are very high level answers but perhaps then can get you started
