Why was this question PyCharm closed?
Can't run a Python file in PyCharm: why? got closed as "This question is not within the scope of Power Users.".
The community description is:

"Can't run a Python file in PyCharm: why?" is a question about software usage. So why was this question PyCharm closed?
Post
Because the concept in the question is out of the scope for Power Users. Python is a programming language; Pycharm is an integrated development environment. Thus the topic of the question, is the topic that concerns Software Development Codidact, not Power Users.
From the FAQ in the help center:
What is Power Users all about?
Power Users is a community where computer enthusiasts (power users) ask and answer questions about software and hardware usage. You can ask questions about using software applications (browsers, office suites, editors, etc), command-line interfaces, operating systems and settings, computer hardware, home networking, and so on. While computers are in lots of things these days, this community is more focused on things that are primarily computers than, say, your WiFi-connected refrigerator.
You can make a point that, sure, Python is text on a computer interpreted by a software program. And similarly, Pycharm is a specialized text editor. But those tools exist first and foremost for programming and software development. Serving a space for programming and software development tools on Power Users is unnecessary overlap that doesn't help Codidact nor its readers.
