Flask blueprints with gevent working outside of application context

I am trying to send emails asynchronously with in Flask with gevent via flask-mail. I am getting "working outside of application context". I am aware of with app.app_context() but I cannot get it to work with my setup. My application is created with an application factory like this: myproject/run_dev.py ``` from gevent.wsgi import WSGIServer from my_project.app import create_app from my_project.config import DevConfig app = create_app(DevConfig) http_server = WSGIServer(('', 5000), app) http_server.serve_forever() ``` myproject/myproject/app.py ``` def create_app(config=None, app_name=None, blueprints=None): app = Flask(app_name) configure_app(app, config) <other stuff> return app ``` And the code that I use to send emails: myproject/myproject/mymodule/views.py ``` @mymodule.route('/some/path/') def do_something(): do_stuff(something) ``` myproject/myproject/mymodule/utils.py ``` def do_stuff(something): send_email(msg) @async def send_async_email(msg): mail.send(msg) def send_mail(request_id, recipients, email_type, env=None, pool=None): msg = Message( sender=sender, recipients=recipients, subject=subject, body=body) send_async_email(msg) ``` myproject/myproject/decorators.py ``` def async(f): def wrapper(*args, **kwargs): t = Greenlet.spawn(f, *args, **kwargs) gevent.joinall([t]) return wrapper ``` I have tried to add: ``` from myproject.app import create_app app = create_app() with app.app_context(): mail.send(msg) ``` to send_async_email() but then I get ImportError: cannot import name create_app
