PyCharm IDE will not load from Crypto.Cipher import AES

I can run python3 myfile.py on the MAC OS command line and it works fine, but inside the IDE, I get the following error. I have done the 

pip uninstall pycrypto
pip install pycrypto

This has no effect inside the PyCharm IDE, but it does work with the command line.

Python is 3.7 inside and outside the IDE. The pycrypto is installed via the Preferences -> Project -> Project Interpreter. The version of pycrpto is 2.6.1.

What am I missing?

    According to your console output, you need to run /Users/denisputnam/git/kingslanding/venv/bin/python /Users/denisputnam/git/kingslanding/denisputnam-cryptography-overview-exercise/mysymmetricencryptiondecryption.py from the system terminal and see if it works.
