Interactive Console in PyCharm wont load correct python version

Question

I'm getting the following error when I start an interactive console in PyCharm

File "C:\Users\Tom\Anaconda3\Lib\site.py", line 176
file=sys.stderr)
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Process finished with exit code 1
Couldn't connect to console process.

I've set the interpreter in Configurations to 3.4 and can run by programs correctly, I just can't load an interactive console.

site.py is loaded on startup . . . did that file get modified? — ernie

No it hasn't been modified. I've read that getting the error above is usually a symptom of the wrong python configeration stackoverflow question — tomc4yt

Ah, interesting. Sounds like you should double check the settings at "Build, Execution, Deployment > Console > Python Console" and verify that that's not different than what you specified at "Project > Project Interpreter" — ernie

PyCharm has a few places you can set the interpreter.

Double check the settings at Build, Execution, Deployment > Console > Python Console and verify that that's not different than what you specified at Project > Project Interpreter

Apparently that worked but another problem was caused. I think it has something to do with Anaconda. I ended up downgrading to pycharm4.5
