Pycharm freezes while selecting project interpreter
Hi, I am using Pycharm 2016.1.4 for Mac and it is constantly giving me issue with freezing. The freezing occurs when I try to select the project interpreter. It starts a loading icon for project dependencies and is stuck at this point. I love using Pycharm and this is just not letting me work. Please fix this asap.
Let me know if I need to provide more details.

Upgraded to latest version (2016.1.4), IDE still freezes when trying to open a file and forces a machine restart. If this cannot be fixed ASAP, I'll have to upgrade to an IDE that can open files...
Note, issue still occurs with Window Animations disabled, per https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-19141
Please file issue with your zipped log folder (Help| Show log) to PyCharm issue-tracker. Thank you.

@Quadcore8043 If you are on Mac, do a complete reset. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/ and delete the Pycharm folder and start fresh, In my experience it always helps and that's how I fixed my problem.
What is the path for this on Windows 10?

For Windows it's %UserProfie%/.PyCharmXXXX.X
I know that this thread is old, but I found it searching for solutions to the hang issue when trying to set the project interpreter.
Mine is a new installation, on a complex file system.
When I paste the path to what I already know is the correct path in the Select Project Interpreter dialog, it hangs forever; and my intuition tells me its the tree below waiting for some tree branch to open. Since I already know the correct path, this chooser is actually in the way; much worse than if I could simply paste the path.
After some searching regarding the configuration files, I came across this line in the <install_dir>/bin/idea.properties file and uncommented it, and restarted PyCharm:
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
# IDEA file chooser peeks inside directories to detect whether they contain a valid project
# (to mark such directories with a corresponding icon).
# Uncommenting the option prevents this behavior outside the user home directory.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
idea.chooser.lookup.for.project.dirs=false
Problem solved.
