Cannot run python.exe from PyCharm: requires elevation

I use the PyCharm IDE for Python development and today I was trying to run a very simple program and got an error stating:

"Cannot run program "C:\Users\Ahmed\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\python.exe" (in directory "C:\Users\Ahmed\PycharmProjects\mypython"): CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation".

CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation,

this line indicates that it should be run by administrator of the computer, try running it via admin account or with admin rights
