Using Blueprint you can add your routes in the routes directory.

Structure

app.py
routes
    __init__.py
    index.py
    users.py

__init__.py

from flask import Blueprint
routes = Blueprint('routes', __name__)

from .index import *
from .users import *

index.py

from flask import render_template
from . import routes

@routes.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')

users.py

from flask import render_template
from . import routes

@routes.route('/users')
def users():
    return render_template('users.html')

app.py

from routes import *
app.register_blueprint(routes)

from .accounts import *
