This can also happen in Intellij Ultimate  which has PyCharm integrated  The issue is as diagnosed above  you have the wrong interpreter selected   The exact method to fix this for any given project is to go to Project Settings   Project and adjust the Project SDK  You can add a New Project SDK if you don t have Python 3 added by navigating to the python3 binary  This will fix the errors listed above  A shortcut to Project Settings is the blue checkerboard-type icon   You can also add Python 3 as the default interpreter for Python projects  On OSX this is in File  Other Settings   Default Project Structure  There you can set the Project SDK which will now apply on each new project  It can be different on other platforms  but still similar

I think you are saying that you have python2 and python3 installed and have added a reference to each version under Pycharm   Settings   Project Interpreter  What I think you are asking is how do you have some projects run with Python 2 and some projects running with Python 3   If so  you can look under Run   Edit Configurations

PyCharm 2019 1   There is a new feature called Interpreter in status bar  scroll down a little bit   This makes switching between python interpreters and seeing which version you   re using easier     Enable status bar  In case you cannot see the status bar  you can easily activate it by running the Find Action command  Ctrl Shift A or      A on mac   Then type status bar and choose View  Status Bar to see it
