You can check if your cname is setup correctly here:

If correct, you should see the following record:

  Type: CNAME
  Domain Name: www.your-domain.com
  Cannonical Name: webapp-0000.pythonanywhere.com

Note the www on the domain name.

idea: remove NS and SOA entries, keep only the CNAME one

Are those the exact SOA and NS records that AWS provided you? I ask because when I ask those servers for information about your site, they say they don't know anything about it:
