How to overcome "Package 'whitenoise' requires a different Python: 2.7.16" error?

I had already installed python 3.8.2 in my MX linux-19. But when i try to install django-heroku in pycharm it said

ERROR: Package 'whitenoise' requires a different Python: 2.7.16 not in '>=3.5, <4

then i install python 2.7.16 but not uninstall the previous latest one. After installing it, It again occurs the same error. What should i do now?

FULL LOG 

$ pip install django-heroku

Probably pycharm is pointing to the wrong python interpreter version. You might need to configure it yourself.

File -> Settings -> Project: <project-name> -> Project Interpreter -> Click on the gear -> Add -> System Interpreter -> Select the correct python version -> OK

Check Pycharm docs for this case in particular.
