ImportError: cannot import name

Question

I have two files app.py and mod_login.py

app.py

from flask import Flask
from mod_login import mod_login

app = Flask(__name         


        

Answer 1

The problem is that you have a circular import: in app.py

from mod_login import mod_login

in mod_login.py

from app import app

This is not permitted in Python. See Circular import dependency in Python for more info. In short, the solution are

• either gather everything in one big file
• delay one of the import using local import
