Automatically create virtual environment when opening Python project in IntelliJ IDEA

Is there a way to have IntelliJ IDEA (with the Python plugin already installed) automatically create virtual environments when a project is opened for the first time?  I have a repository that contains both Java and Python code. The currently developer workflow is to:

1. Clone the project and open it in IntelliJ

2. Click through the menus manually to create a “Global SDK” that creates a virtual environment in the project

3. Add the newly created Global SDK as a “Module” to the project

This is cumbersome and error prone.  IntelliJ will automatically recognize that I'm opening a Spring Boot project and configure things appropriately.  It should do the same for Python. Currently it's not possible to share run/debug configurations with others as the Python modules are also included in here and do not get configured by default when opening the project for the first time.

Am I missing something or is this just not possible?
