configuring IDEA for python

I am trying to configure IntelliJ IDEA 2016.3 (Community edition) to work with python (and existing python 2 scripts). Python is installed and working with the Spyder editor.

 

First, I installed the python plugin and restarted IDEA. I read https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/2016.3/configuring-python-interpreter-for-a-project.html?utm_medium=help_link&utm_source=from_product&utm_campaign=IC&utm_content=2016.3&search=configure%20python.

 

In the Edit Configuration window, no interpreter options are shown in the drop-down menu. Do I have to associate each python script with a project first?

 

Not sure what to do next.

 

Thanks in advance
