I'm trying to use Python 3.10 with PyCharm on Windows 10.

However, it gets recognized as Python 3.1 instead:

If I try to run my script, the interpreter complains that this version of Python is deprecated.

How can I resolve the issue?

You are likely using an old PyCharm version. Python 3.10 is rather new. Update PyCharm to at least 2020.2. See the relevant ticket in PyCharm's bug tracker https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-42855.

  • Updating to the latest version of PyCharm indeed fixes this issue! – satishgoda Jul 30 '22 at 23:53
  • same here, was using pycharm 2020. got the 3.1 not supported but I verified 3.10 with `python.exe --version` updating to pycharm 2020, works with python 3.10.7 now. – Brian W Sep 22 '22 at 21:29

Conda 4.10 is incompatible with python 3.10.

It is not an issue with PyCharm, but a known bug in conda. Update your conda to the newest, or install a miniconda that already has python 3.10.

You can change what python you are using in Settings -> Project: Python -> Project Interpreter

If you don't find the version, you can add it clicking on the icon aside it and locating a python.exe script in your pc.

In my case the default directory for the python.exe is C:\Users<myUser>\PycharmProjects\Python\venv\Scripts\python.exe

so I assume you can just get you version from https://www.python.org/downloads/ and put it there.
