Question

My File Directory:

app/
app.py
app/server/
   views.py

I don’t get any import errors with views, but I am not able to URL route to Views – I can only do it from app.py – how can I fix this issue? I’ve been stuck on this for 6 hours.

Code from app.py – how I import views

sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.abspath('.'), 'server'))
import views

And my url routing seems fine, so I am not sure where the problem lies:

@app.route("/login/", methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def login():
    doSomething()

---

I feel the problem is more to do with url routing than importing files though.

Answer 1

Try from views import * instead of import views.

Also, instead of doing sys.path.append, add an empty file named __init__.py to the server directory, and you should be able to do something like from server.views import *.

Solution: Also make sure your view import is towards the bottom of your app file, below the app initialization and config and such.
