That's nice, but as I've said, the problem can be solved by reinstalling Anaconda3 and PyCharm. Not fun or easy, but at least the outcome would be known if I really needed pip, which I won't for quite awhile. Honestly, this installation of Anaconda3 is so unstable it behaves differently everytime I try to do something with it. Better to leave well enough alone right now. I really need what little usable time I have making progress with Python, and I should be a lot healthier in a few months. And I'd rather spend the downtime then getting my good computer up and running, and Python on Linux again. Then this problem vanishes. Deborah -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
