Flask AttributeError: module 'app' has no attribute 'run'

Question

My Flask project is structured as follows:

my_project
│
├── app
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── api
│   ├── static
│   └── templates
├── config.py
└── run.py
         


        

Answer 1

I fixed this issue by renaming the app directory to something else (e.g. webapp). Using from webapp import app does the trick. This seems to be because package directory names take precedence over module names when importing. Perhaps using __path__ would allow one to get around this.
