Interpreter from venv not visible for selection

Question

I have a MacBook Pro m1 so I installed Python 3.6 by pyenv on my Mac. But, when I create venv by proprietary package on PyCharm and I go to select interpreter from here, PyCharm does nothing. In other words, I select Python 3.6 from my venv, but PyCharm still has no interpreter.

Try to execute the interpreter from command line. Note: you cannot mix ARM and Intel modules/libraries in the same executable (sometime this is a problem on M1, in such case you must install also a parallel Intel version of python)\ — Giacomo Catenazzi, Oct 06 '22 at 11:52
@GiacomoCatenazzi command line has python 3.6 by pyenv. I can't install intel version with parallel. Also I have used parallel to virtualize ubuntu, but when I installed requirements, I got a compile error of pandas dependencies and libraries. — Vinz1396, Oct 06 '22 at 12:18
On my M1 I use conda (miniconda), and so I can have different python version, and also different architectures. In any case my question was: what happens if you execute the python interpreter as you gave it in pycharm (without starting it with pyenv). This may get you some hints on the real problem — Giacomo Catenazzi, Oct 06 '22 at 12:27
@GiacomoCatenazzi but miniconda create a venv itself. My procedure is that: 1. I install python 3.6 for installing proprietary package. 2. open project in pycharm and install venv with proprietary package ( for do this, i need python 3.6 on terminal). 3. select pycharm interpreter from venv — Vinz1396, Oct 06 '22 at 12:53
TO REOPEN REVIEWERS: As you can see this post is about a separate and isolated problem, while the other thread is about configuring/adding interpreters; this thread is about a specific control in the UI that needs to be turned off. (This thread is also about an issue that happens in multi-project environments, something that isn't the topic of the other thread.) — bad_coder, Oct 21 '22 at 03:18

You have to uncheck a filter in the Python interpreter's dialogue for the venv to become visible. (See the dialogue in point 3 of the PyCharm documentation - Modify a Python interpreter).

Go to File > Settings > Project > Python Interpreter > click the Cog icon > Select Show All... > Unselect the filter icon that reads: Hide virtual environments associated with other projects, as shown in the screenshot:
