Permission Denied - Virtual Environment create
Hi everyone,
i want to create a Virtual Environment in Pycharm but it fails.
The project is checked out from git and all permissions are appropriate.
The log tells me:

So it complains about the permission on the project directory, but as i said, everything i right. I have full write permission.
Im running PyCharm on Gentoo Linux
Any hints?
Thanks

Hi, could you please test if PyCharm can access the file, e.g. by running in the terminal:
cat /home/user/project/venv/lib/pypy3.8/site-packages/_virtualenv.pthAlso, what is the base interpreter path you're using? Are you able to create virtualenv for this interpreter from the terminal outside of the IDE?
Hi.
the file doesn't exist if i try to create the virtualenv with PyCharm.
The base interpreter is pypy
If i manually create the virtualenv everything is fine and the app starts as expected.
After manually creating the virtualenv, please try adding it to PyCharm as an existing virtualenv environment. Does it work?
Yes it does.
Any Ideas why PyCharm isn't able to create a virtualenv?
