Pycharm?

Question

I have been using Visual Studio for Python for a while now but it is quite slow. I have Python and Pycharm installed already but Pycharm won't recognise I have it installed. If I were to switch IDEs, how? I click add configuration but it says Python 3.7 isn't installed on my machine despite Visual Studio working (slow) and it being in my Python folder. Can someone help?

Answer 1

Did you check the jetbrains tutorials how to set up Pycharm?
I use a venv (virtual environment) for each project - this gives you flexibility about which libraries you want to use for each project, that can actually impact the performance.

UPDATE: Pycharm is still not working, but Notepad++ is. I think I will close this here, I have a proper IDE working quickly and that is good enough
