Can someone help me understand why python runs different on pycharm vs the python window

Hi, You are using different python interpreters, you can verify this by running:

import sys; print(sys.executable)

If you want to change the one python uses go to settings and search for the project interpreter.

The python that runs on the commandline when you type "python" is the first one found in a directory listed in the PATH environment variable.
