Flask views in separate module
flask, python, python-3.x
Solution
Apparently, this has to do with `app.root_path`.
- In views.py, `app.root_path` is `/path/to/project/flaskr`
- But in flaskr.py, `app.root_path` is `/path/to/project`
So Flask expects views.py to be put into a package.
Problem
flaskr.py ``` # flaskr.py from flask import Flask app = Flask(__name__) import views if __name__ == "__main__": app.run() ``` views.py ``` # views.py from flaskr import app from flask import render_template, g @app.route('/') def show_entries(): entries = None return render_template('show_entries.html', entries=entries) ``` python3 flaskr.py Can anyone tell me why this isn't working but if i move the whole app into a separate package it works flawless. No errors, not nothing except a 404 like the views.py is ignored. I'm knew to Flask and i'm trying out different things to understand how it actually works. Thanks!
