thanks for looking at this Paul. Your last suggestion unlocked my mindset and did the trick. I created the virtualenv, and then created the project using PyCharm and linked it to the virtualenv. I'll see if I can delete all those suffixed interpreters now...I had tried cleaning out the intepreters in Settings > Project Interpreters, but it didn't work. Dunno why they persist. I had also tried setting the interpreter to the first one, without a suffix, but it blew up too. Anyway, all good for the time being, many thanks again for your comments, much appreciated!

When you define an interpreter, you are defining it at the IDE level and connecting it to a project. It might be used in other projects. Thus, "deleting" it from a project, just disconnects it from that particular project. The interpreter is still registered with PyCharm.

Thanks Paul. For the suffixed interpreters, I found a blog piece here plus a SO question at this link which suggests it is a bug, and shows how to edit the source file. If links are broken, the config file default path is ~/.PyCharm50/config/options/jdk.table.xml (replace 50 with your version). Remove duplicates via sub-elements <name value="your duplicate name"> and delete entire <jdk> tag.
