Virtual Environment and Python

[u/Artistic-Army4423]

I have started learning python and decided to use pycharm as an editor. I want to know anything which will help me in this journey.

My main question is => I don't get "virtual environment" thing with python. I cloned a repo and opened it in pycharm, it says "No python interpreter configured for <repo-name>" and then suggested to create virtual environment.

I want to hear things from experience devs.

thank you.
