Install Python 3.5 on Mac for IntelliJ IDEA / PyCharm

I'm using a third-party Python package that supports Python 3.5, but not 3.6. I've got Python 2.7 installed from my OS vendor (it's a Mac), and Python 3.6 installed through homebrew.

What's the best way for me to install 3.5 and configure IntelliJ IDEA (using its Python plugin, so it's basically equivalent to PyCharm) to use it?

You can install as many Python distributions as you want and they all located in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions. However, pip3 will only be linked to the last python distribution you installed, not the latest. For example, in my case, my pip3 is the module in python3.5 because I installed it after 3.6. If you want to use a package for a specific version, run $ python3.x -m package. python3.6 -m pip install, for example.
