One way is to create an overall package and adding a __init__.py file under that where you declare all global variables. In your case for example, you can create something like:

myapplication/
    *        __init__.py
    *        myviews/
        *         __init__.py
        *         view.py
        *         tags.py

etc

Now you add the following code in the __init__.py file:

app = Flask(__name__)

You can now use this app variable anywhere as long as you import the package myapplication.

import myapplication.myviews.view
