• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

try using Flask(__name__)

[turbid tusk]

and you're using gunicorn?

[urban tapir]

yes

[red mortar]

your import name might not be "__main__" if you deploy it, because the app usually get's imported

[urban tapir]

ok. gimme a sec

[red mortar]

and flask uses the import name to resolve the path to your app (which it then uses to look for templates and static files etc.)

[turbid tusk]

that's a very good point
