How to not inspect error on raw_input with Python 2 compatible code

Question

I have a Python module that can be run with both Python 2 and Python 3. At some point, the module takes a user input. How it does so depends on the Python major version:

Python 2: use raw_input
Python 3: use input

My IDE is PyCharm, and my project interpreter is Python 3.8. PyCharm inspects an unresolved reference error on raw_input.

Besides a # noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences tag, how can I get PyCharm not to complain about raw_input? Is there some setting I can enable?

Sample Code

#!/usr/bin/python


import sys


if sys.version_info[0] > 2:
    some_input = input("Please give input: ")
else:
    some_input = raw_input("Please give input: ")

print("input: {}".format(some_input))

What I see on my screen:

Versions

Python: 3.8.2
PyCharm: CE 2019.3.1

My PyCharm has Code compatibility inspection enabled for Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.7, and 3.8.

Environment checks are not supported in PyCharm, consider using input from six (https://six.readthedocs.io/#module-six.moves).
