AttributeError: module 'builtins' has no attribute 'interpreter'

Question

It is a basic question, I guess. I can run my program in Pycharm 2018.1 Python 3.6.5. But when I run in debug mode and open python console, I get this error message when I try to key in any python command.

I am using virtualenv and added interpreter in project setting.

I wonder what's wrong with my configuration

below is stacktrace

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/PyCharm CE.app/Contents/helpers/pydev/pydevconsole.py", line 362, in get_interpreter
    interpreterInterface = getattr(__builtin__, 'interpreter')
AttributeError: module 'builtins' has no attribute 'interpreter'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

This was fixed few days after your question: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-29313
You should update your PyCharm to 2018.1.1 or higher.
