Remember to:

• 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.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

What does py tell you?

[thorny linden]

Okay, so you have Python.

If you want to use pip with it, you'd do py -m pip.

[thorny linden]

(you could also go into the installer and add Python to PATH but py -m pip is a good habit to get into)

[midnight marsh]

my laptop is tripping idk why it doesnt let me install these things

[cursive hemlock]

Ctrl+Z than enter

To exit the python interpreter

[cursive hemlock]

U know it worked if u dont see the >>> anymore

[sterile jacinth]

That worked. Congrats

[midnight marsh]

yessirrr

what next

[sterile jacinth]

Dewayne

[sterile jacinth]

Now you can install what you want with pip

[cursive hemlock]

Try the py -m pip again

[midnight marsh]

do you guys know the code for flask?

[sterile jacinth]

You want to install flask?

!pypi flask

[hazy swan]

Flask v3.1.0

A simple framework for building complex web applications.

Released on <t:1731522278:D>.

[midnight marsh]

yeah

[sterile jacinth]

pip install flask

[cursive hemlock]

py -m pip install

[sterile jacinth]

py -m pip install flask since we have to be absolutely explicit here

[cursive hemlock]

Not any of those alone but the whole orchestra is needed

[sterile jacinth]

the !pypi flask was invoking the bot to give a link to Flask. See this message:
#1337162853144334450 message

[cursive hemlock]

At the very end of it write the modules name

[cursive hemlock]

Like this

[midnight marsh]

is this module?

cuz is its still not running in terminal

[sterile jacinth]

What happened after running this command?

[cursive hemlock]

Now run the code

[midnight marsh]

this is all i am getting

[cursive hemlock]

It most probably is what u want to see

Is the whole code at the moment just that import?

[midnight marsh]

i dont get it?

yeah

[cursive hemlock]

Bc in that case ur good to continue

[cursive hemlock]

Get what

[midnight marsh]

this part

[sterile jacinth]

I think you need to run it

app.run or something? I forget what it is

[cursive hemlock]

If ur program would be
print("hello world")
U would expect hello world in terminal instead of nothing

[cursive hemlock]

Thats true but the code yet is just the import

[midnight marsh]

i tried this nothing changed when i ran

[sterile jacinth]

No they had an app defined with a route

[sterile jacinth]

see here:
https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/stable/tutorial/factory/#run-the-application

you can probably do py -m flask --app app run --debug

[cursive hemlock]

Oh ye the hello world works u need to start the app still

[midnight marsh]

in terminal or vs code

[cursive hemlock]

U need an app.run with some args which i dont remember at the end of the code to run it

We usually add it in a
if __name__=="__main__"
So it only starts when its ran and not when its imported

!d flask.Flask.run

[hazy swan]

flask.Flask.run

run(host=None, port=None, debug=None, load_dotenv=True, **options)```
Runs the application on a local development server.

Do not use `run()` in a production setting. It is not intended to meet security and performance requirements for a production server. Instead, see [Deploying to Production](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/latest/deploying/) for WSGI server recommendations.

If the [`debug`](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/latest/api/#flask.Flask.debug) flag is set the server will automatically reload for code changes and show a debugger in case an exception happened...

[cursive hemlock]

I reccomended debug mode for u and if it has a problem with not getting a host than localhost should fit that arg

[sterile jacinth]

If you read the tutorial on the official documentation, you should be able to get there
