To change visible name of a Python interpreter

  1. In the Project Interpreters page, select one of the configured interpreters or virtual environments.
  2. Click edit1.
  3. In the Edit Python Interpreter dialog box that opens, type the desired interpreter name.
    py_change_interpreter_name

    The Python interpreter name specified in the Name field, becomes visible in the list of available interpreters.

    If necessary, change the path to the Python executable.
