Configuring Python SDK

Basics

In IntelliJ IDEA, you can define several Python SDKs. So doing, you can choose the one to be used in your project, from the list of the interpreters available on your machine.

IntelliJ IDEA supports:

• Standard Python interpreters
• IronPython
• PyPy
• Jython
• CPython

Python SDKs can be configured on the following levels:

• Current project: selected Python interpreter will be used for the current project.
• New project: selected Python interpreter will be used for the new project instead of the default one.
