I can't make a new python file in pycharm

Created July 25, 2025 16:57

Hi,i've having this really weird problem where i can't make a python file,whenever i try make one it needs a python version,and since it automatically doesn't find one,i have to manually find one and go to the path which i presume is correct: C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\python.exe

But still a white window just flashes and nothing happens,i've reinstalled python and pycharm. Please help! Im on python 3.13

heres what it looks like to me: https://imgur.com/a/j0XeV9d

and heres a video on what happens: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvu2jyG2lp4&ab_channel=Centsicles

By the way i made the video before i reinstalled python and pycharm,but that same bug keeps happening,any help would be appreciated!

Hi Centsicles

Thank you for reaching out,

Could you please let me know how you installed python in your environment?

It is recommended to download/install from python.org

Can you please verify if the python installation and version in the selected path is correct ?

You can do this by navigating to the python directory in a terminal and typing

python.exe --version

Also please let me know the outcome of the command

where python

If the python.exe looks broken or not the correct version installed for your machine please re-install from python.org

If the issue still persists please raise a youtrack case so we can investigate this further.

Kind regards,
