.. note:: We're creating the virtualenv using Python 3.10 (``--python=/usr/bin/python3.10```), although Cookiecutter Django generates a project for Python 3.12. This is because, at time of writing, PythonAnywhere only supports Python 3.10. It shouldn't be a problem, but if is, you may try changing the Python version to 3.12 and see if it works. If it does, please let us know, or even better, submit a pull request to update this section.
