PyCharm fails to create the venv (or interpreter) with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Pycharm version 2019.3

why are you using an alpha release of 3.9 when the full release came out a few months ago? — acushner, Jan 01 '21 at 15:34
Sorry!. The a is pointless forget it. It throws the error on every 3.9 AND 3.9+ version — Ahmed, Jan 01 '21 at 15:35
