Missing Windows module in Flask app running on Ubuntu Droplet
digital-ocean, flask, python, ubuntu, winreg
Solution
I was having the same problem. As far as I understand it is because of a few changes in the last Werkzeug version that changes the reloader.
Installing the watchdog could solve my problem:
`pip install watchdog`
And now, instead of seeing "* Restart with stat" I'm seeing "* Restart with inotify reloader" and it is all working fine.
Problem
I'm trying to run a Flask app on an Ubuntu Droplet but when I try to run the app with `python app.py` I get the following traceback: ``` * Running on http://0.0.0.0:4000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit) * Restarting with stat Traceback (most recent call last): File "app.py", line 49, in <module> app.run('0.0.0.0', port=4000, debug=True) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/flask/app.py", line 772, in run run_simple(host, port, self, **options) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/werkzeug/serving.py", line 622, in run_simple reloader_type) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/werkzeug/_reloader.py", line 269, in run_with_reloader reloader.run() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/werkzeug/_reloader.py", line 159, in run for filename in chain(_iter_module_files(), self.extra_files): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/werkzeug/_reloader.py", line 70, in _iter_module_files for package_path in getattr(module, '__path__', ()): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/six.py", line 116, in __getattr__ _module = self._resolve() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/six.py", line 105, in _resolve return _import_module(self.mod) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/six.py", line 76, in _import_module __import__(name) ImportError: No module named _winreg ``` I can't install the package with pip or apt-get since I'm pretty sure this is a Windows-specific module. Is there any way I can get around this?
