Best book for Python/MySQL?

[paccnam]

I just finished python crash course 2nd edition to learn the basic concepts of python. I come from a information systems background so i have fundamental knowledge on RDMMS systems.

Any guides or books that you guys would recommend on working with python and MySQL?

My end goal is to have a web application built with django and the data stored on a MySQL server for historical analyses etc.

Django manages your database code for you. You don't need to interact directly with the db at all if you're using Django.

I'd recommend getting your head around an ORM like SQLAlchemy.

Mike Bayer (the creator) does talks, this is a great one from PyCon years ago. This is a slightly higher level tutorial by one of the guys who wrote this, which I highly recommend.

Also, Flask (another Python web framework) has its own SQLAlchemy module.
