Answer 1

The problem, judging by the traceback, is in the virtual environment, probably in its version, which may not be compatible with the latest version of python.
Possible solutions:

• Update venv:pip install --upgrade virtualenv
  
• Downgrade python (To 3.10.0/3.10.2 for example), completely removing the previous version
  
• update pycharm
