Standard Python 'venv' module not found

Question

I am trying to create two virtual environments through Pycharm IDE.

• one for Python 2.7
• one for Python 3.8

However, I was able to create venv for 2.7 but could not succeed with 3.8; and end-up with "Error: Standard Python 'venv' module not found". as per [this reference] https://docs.python.org/3.7/installing/index.html ) venv is already part of python3.8.

So, It would great if someone help me with my following questions.

• Is it possible to setup two venv's with two different version of python?
• How do i know if my python3.8 has venv module?
• How can i install venv to python3.8 to be able to configure virtual environment in Pycharm?

Answer 1

I was able to fix this problem after installing the python 3.8 with executable installer. previously I got "Standard Python 'venv' module not found" problem because I have installed python 3.8 as embeddable zip file.

Answer 2

download the executable installer not the embeddable zip file
