Description

The PyCharm interpreter section very briefly points out that it's autodetected the virtual environment, then tells users it's best practise to set one up explicitly, and describes how to create a new one. This leads to learners setting up a second one, then being confused about it not having the packages in it that they expect.

It should probably have the whole bit on how to create a new virtual environment in a callout, titled "Creating a new virtual environment", that then repeats in the first sentence that this is unnecessary in your current project as you already have one.
