To change visible name of a Python interpreter

  1. Open the Project Structure dialog (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Alt+S).

  2. In the Project Structure dialog, click the node SDKs under the Platform Settings.

  3. In the Name field, change the name the interpreter as required:

    ij change interpreter name

  4. Apply changes.
