I can't run a Python file in PyCharm: why?
The run icon is greyed out:
![Image_alt_text](https://powerusers.codidact.com/uploads/81z3mjyr3cqpqfwkh5prxrensqad)
I went to Run → Edit Configurations… to make sure the correct Python interpreter is selected. Debug, coverage, and profile are fine but I don't see run:
![Image_alt_text](https://powerusers.codidact.com/uploads/5uahvoo50rgdzq596ixaqdvsippy)
Strangely, only run won't run. What's the issue? I use PyCharm 2024.2.3 Pro.
