I started learning python/Django a few weeks ago. I was able to set up the development environment with PyCharm in windows and hoping to integrate Docker later.
I'm a newbie to python and had to face many issues when integrating MySQL client connector to Django/PyCharm development environment. I thought it is worth mentioning the steps in this blog post.
In this project which I'm planning to continue, I used python 3.7, 8.0.11 MySQL Community Server and Django 2.2.4

Step 01
Install python. There are a few things to mention when installing python.
 |
| Firstly, run the set up as administrator since I'm hoping to install this in the c drive. Then launch the setup, click "Add Python 3.7 to PATH" and select "Customize installation" |
 |
| Secondly, select optional features and click next |
 |
| Thirdly, input the custom location (There will already be a location, but better to choose something like this to avoid future issues. ) |
Step 02
Create a Django project with pycharm.
More information (https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/creating-django-project.html )
Step 02
Install Django 2.2.4 and mysqlclient 1.4.4 from pycharm or using pip from the terminal.
Step 03
Run/Debug the project. Before that make sure you have correct python interpreter which is same as the project interpreter.
Conclusion
It is easy to set up a Django project with pycharm. Make sure to install python properly and the current user has the proper permission because it could be a concern when installing modules to python. I had to face issues like that and I hope this will be helpful in your learning process.References
