I am trying to install the python package py-pde.

My current python version is 3.9.

I pip install using the command 'pip install py-pde' on the terminal.

However, when I try to install it on my IDE - PyCharm - I get this error:

Collecting py-pde

Any ideas what's wrong here?

Specifically, it says can't install on Python 3.11, even though I checked my python version using pip --version to be 3.9.

Not sure what's wrong. Help appreciated.

    Seems like you have more than one Python version installed. Which is not a problem at all. Perfectly normal to have more than one Python version. -- Now in the console your `pip` is connected to Python 3.9 whereas PyCharm seems to prefer Python 3.11 (and its *pip*). Nothing wrong with that. You need to tell PyCharm to use whatever Python you want it to use for this one particular project of yours. I know nothing of PyCharm, I do not know how you should do that. – sinoroc Feb 14 '23 at 12:57

Should be as simple as alt+ctrl+s to go to settings.

Then navigate to Project: "Your project" >> Python Interpreter. Then just browse to the interpreter you want to use instead of 3.11.

Edit: Here's a link to JetBrains (PyCharm parent company) documentation that covers changing your interpreter.
