I have been using Pycharm professional and havent such a problem til date. But over the last 3 or 4 days I have not been able to create new venv’s that can install new packages or upgrade older versions of base packages like pip itself using pip.

I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I have tried the following.

• reinstalled Python 3.10 and 3.12
• Cleared caches
• Reindexed my interpreter
• reinstalled pip
