Description

I'm fairly new to Django and deploying anything really, so please forgive my ignorance. I'm trying to get your template up and running on pythonanywhere as per your installation in the docs, but get an error:

ImportError: No module named 'cdp_proj.settings'

part of wsgi.py: import os os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "cdp_proj.settings.production")

Plus I'm not sure how to handle the static files. pythonanywhere has its own configuration and I'm not sure if I should ignore it since your settings seems to handle it

Any guidance in regards to seeting up edge on pythonanywhere would be great.

thanks in advance,

Michael p.s. bought your book, very well written as it's very readable to a beginner like me, very rare

Research direction
The issue reports an ImportError when deploying to PythonAnywhere due to incorrect settings module path in wsgi.py. Investigate the wsgi.py file (likely edge/wsgi.py) and the settings module structure. Provide clear instructions on setting DJANGO SETTINGS MODULE correctly and handling static files via PythonAnywhere's dashboard. Update the repository's deployment documentation in docs/ to include a dedicated PythonAnywhere section with step by step guidance.
