Answer 1

What do you mean by it is recognized as python 3.1 by Pycharm? You mean that in Pycharm interpreter settings you see Python3.1 instead of Python3.10. To see the interpreter version https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/configuring-python-interpreter.html#interpreter

It it's the case, may be it's just a UI issue for Pycharm. Can you execute this python script:

import sys
print("Python version")
print (sys.version)

from your pycharm?

Answer 2

You can change what python you are using in Settings -> Project: Python -> Project Interpreter

If you don't find the version, you can add it clicking on the icon aside it and locating a python.exe script in your pc.

In my case the default directory for the python.exe is C:\Users<myUser>\PycharmProjects\Python\venv\Scripts\python.exe

so I assume you can just get you version from https://www.python.org/downloads/ and put it there.

Answer 3

It is recognize as python 3.1 instead of 3.10

if I run my script the interpreter alerts to a deprecated python verion.

Answer 4

You are likely using an old PyCharm version. Python 3.10 is rather new. Update PyCharm to at least 2020.2. See the relevant ticket in PyCharm's bug tracker https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-42855 .

Answer 5

Conda 4.10 is incompatible with python 3.10.

It is not an issue with PyCharm, but a known bug in conda. Update your conda to the newest, or install a miniconda that already has python 3.10.
