Incorrect pycharm icon

I followed along and used pycharm, but my models.py file is not showing as a DB icon, but a file icon? Could this be an issue with my code or my pycharm settings?

Hey there Preston Dunn! Since the file is a .py extension it is in fact, a python file and not a database. This is where you are setting up your database model. When your database is initialized, it will be created in your project folder as a database file.
