Solution

  • In that terminal, you can run which python3 (outside of the Python REPL). You should see it's not your Desktop folder's venv python...

    You need to use cmd.exe for the terminal. Then you need to invoke the activate.bat file of the venv in that folder before running py3/python3 or pip commands.

    Otherwise, use Pycharm's built-in pip management dialog which should automatically link to the project interpreter, rather than modify PyCharm terminal settings for all projects.
