Is the interpreter that comes with Anaconda different?
#1
So, I have anaconda installed on my OSX machine but have never used it. My experience with python has
been exclusively via PyCharm using 2.7.10 -- today, I wanted to do something using Python 3 for the
first time so I created a virtual environment and tried to link the interpreter that comes with anaconda
to it - but when I did PyCharm told me there was a problem with my interpreter.

I know I can create one of those conda environemnts and use Python 3 that way but at this point, I'm
just trying to get a better understandnig of what's happening. Why would PyCharm give me that error?
What is the conda environment doing that is different than a virtual environment?

Appreciate any insight--!
