PyCharm ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'turtle'

Question

I am new to programming and wanted to use turtle in PyCharm (Community Edition 2020.3). I am running Pop-OS 20.10.

This is what I entered:

import turtle
s = turtle.getscreen()

This is what I got from PyCharm:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/home/przvl/PycharmProjects/Introduction/Turtle Car.py", line 3, in <module>
      import turtle
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'turtle'

I installed tkinter with:

sudo apt install python3-tk

I can run turtle from the CLI:

PyCharm is set to the correct Python interpreter (as far as I know):

Answer 1

Your interpreter settings show you did not installed turtle in the virtual environment that Pycharm is configured to work with.

Two options:

1. Recommended - install `turtle' on the venv (u can just "+" in the pycharm)
2. Configure Pycharm to work with your system python to where you have probably installed turtle.

Answer 2

I ended up downloading PyCharm from jetbrains.com and manually installing it via the CLI. The interpreter now works correctly and I can use turtle.

Previously, I used Pop-OS inbuilt Shop and flatpak installation of the program, which seems to cause trouble for some users.
