I have a new Powerbook (running apple M1 Max). I downloaded PyCharm. However when I run the "getting started" tutorial I get the message shown above. I have deleted the various Jetbrains Caches, and reinstalled PyCharm. However, I still get the same message. The python file referenced in the message does exist so PyCharm is able to create the directory. I am also able to point to a different instance of Python 3.10 and run the demo project successfully.
It turns out that PyCharm had not configured a default Python3 interpreter. I closed the current project, and then went to preferences where I was able to configure a Python interpreter that was not tied to a particular project using my default installation of Python 3.10. After this, I was able to successfully run the "welcome.py" script in the demo project.
It has been a while since I installed PyCharm on a "bare" machine. I might have missed it, but it would be nice if PyCharm would prompt the user for a "default" python interpreter.

Any help would be appreciated.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the system interpreter that is used during virtualenv creation.
Try creating a virtualenv using a different one.

Thanks so much for your suggestion
