I searched online for the answer, surprisingly nothing worked. So I resolved the issue by myself. Hence I though of posting this Q&A. You can find the answer below.

Solution

  • Even after I got this error, I simply pressed OK. However I was unable to run any program, because the IDE was telling me No interpreter found. Please find below image.

    So I clicked on Configure Python interpreter

    then, click on Project:yourProjectName >> Project Interpreter

    Now we need to add the interpreter or IDE might have selected older Python version. So I clicked on +, and then again +.

    Select the latest version, then click OK. Please find the below image.

    After the selection of the latest version. Click Apply. Please find the below image:

    After I clicked Apply, IDE automatically added the interpreter, and I am ready to CODE and run my programs :). Please find below final image.
