I was following this guide from official jetbrains page, until the step 2 comes in the existence.
In the picture mentioned in that page, has so many options like ssh, wsl, vagrant, docker, etc. In my pycharm (latest 2019.3.4) it only shows 4 options – venv, conda, pipenv and system-interpreter.
There is no WSL menu in the add python interpreter dialog.
See the below image:
Searched web for an hour and found no results that show how to fix it. I started plugin search in the PyCharm if there’s an external plugin to do so, but there were no plugin named as WSL.
I don’t know how to setup the WSL interpreter, I have python3.8 installed on my wsl right now.
Any help will be appreciated!

Answer
I have solved this by
- Uninstalling pycharm with history and cache.
- Removing folders completely from
C:Users%USERNAME%AppDataLocal
andC:Users%USERNAME%AppDataRoamingJetBrains
and - Clean re-install of pycharm
- WSL interpreter option shows up as normal
- Ideavim is creating a conflict I guess.
