Avi Baruch :
I recently tried to migrate a flask site using a SQLite db connected to using SQLalchemy. I am migrating to Pythonanywhere and I want to change to a mySQl db. I used this code to connect to the db:
mysql+mysqldb://USERNAME:[email protected]/news
obviously I replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with the necessary values. I get this error:
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (MySQLdb._exceptions.OperationalError) (1044, "Access denied for user 'USERNAME'@'%' to database 'news'") (Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/e3q8)
please help, I'm not sure what to do at this point. Thank you

Been playing around with my own account on Pythonanywhere and figured it out. The database name is username$dbname so your connection string should be:
mysql+mysqldb://USERNAME:[email protected]/USERNAME$news
