Question

My files are as follows:

helloworld.py

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def __init__(self):
    print 'Hello World!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

application.wsgi

import os
import sys


sys.path.append('/srv/www/mysite.com/application')

os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = '/srv/www/mysite.com/.python-egg'

import flaskr.helloworld
application = helloworld

When attempting to run this through my web browser, the module is loaded fine. I end up receiving a 500 error, with this in my error.log “NameError: name ‘helloworld’ is not defined”

Any ideas why?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

import flaskr.helloworld as helloworld
application = helloworld.app

Or alternatively:

import flaskr.helloworld
application = flaskr.helloworld.app
