Accessing remote MySQL database with peewee

Question

I\'m trying to connect to a MySQL database on Amazon\'s RDS using peewee and I can\'t get it to work. I\'m new to databases so I\'m probably doing something stupid, but this is

Answer 1

I changed it to be like this and it worked:

import peewee as pw

myDB = pw.MySQLDatabase("mydb", host="mydb.crhauek3cxfw.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com", port=3306, user="user", passwd="password")

class MySQLModel(pw.Model):
    """A base model that will use our MySQL database"""
    class Meta:
        database = myDB

class User(MySQLModel):
    username = pw.CharField()
    # etc, etc


# when you're ready to start querying, remember to connect
myDB.connect()

Thanks guys, Alex
