I think Flask uses the directory templates by default. So your code should be suppose this is your hello.py

from flask import Flask,render_template

app=Flask(__name__,template_folder='template')


@app.route("/")
def home():
    return render_template('home.html')

@app.route("/about/")
def about():
    return render_template('about.html')

if __name__=="__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

And you work space structure like

project/
    hello.py        
    template/
         home.html
         about.html    
    static/
           js/
             main.js
           css/
               main.css

also you have create two html files with name of home.html and about.html and put those files in template folder.
