Using PythonAnywhere, Django, Github, and MySQL

[Alexander Joseph]

Hello,

I am newly learning django, and have decided to use pythonanywhere and github for publishing/hosting my apps. I've been using php and mysql for a few years and like mysql. But I need some help with the initial setup so that everything works/clones smoothly between my app on my local computer, github, and pythonanywhere.

I cloned my repo from github onto my computer, installed a virtualenv in my repo on my pc, installed django in my virtualenv, and started a django project in the repo folder. I've also setup a mysql database on pythonanywhere.

The way I understand it is I need to get django working with mysql on my local computer. Do I do this with mysqlclient? Are there any issues I can run into? Or anything I need to watch out for? Thanks for your help
