Flask - ImportError: No module named app

Question

First I created __init__.py

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

Answer 1

Your __init__.py file needs to go in the folder named app, not the same directory as the run.py file.

from app import app is looking in the app folder, so the __init__.py file needs to sit in there.
