Flask example not working in PyCharm

[Lohrii Alo]

I wanted to try out the flask example but looks like the project/directory structure is not designed for PyCharm, please help. Would be very helpful if the documentation has instructions on how to use :-)

I'm getting this error:

C:\Python3.4\python.exe C:/Users/username/PycharmProjects/facebook-login-flask/run.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:/Users/username/PycharmProjects/facebook-login-flask/run.py", line 4, in <module>

    from app import app, db

  File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\facebook-login-flask\app\__init__.py", line 8, in <module>

    from app import views, models

  File "C:\Users\username\PycharmProjects\facebook-login-flask\app\views.py", line 5, in <module>

    from models import User

ImportError: No module named 'models'

Since the Flask example should run fine from command line Python (running "C:\Python3.4\python.exe C:/Users/username/PycharmProjects/facebook-login-flask/run.py" outside of PyCharm should work fine), the problem is probably with your PyCharm project structure (as opposed to the Flask example's). Can you check your Project Structure dialog and make sure that your app folder is marked as a source? If this doesn't solve the problem, please reply with a screenshot of the Project Structure dialog.

Same error from the command line outside of pycharm too, here's my pycharm project structure

Since the screenshot you posted is of the general PyCharm interface and not the Project Structure Dialog in particular, I am not sure whether your app folder is marked as a source. Can you confirm that this is the case?

Since the Flask example directory is not going to be in your PYTHONPATH, you need to run it from the Flask example's directory if you want to run it from the commandline:

cd C:/Users/username/PycharmProjects/facebook-login-flask/
C:\Python3.4\python.exe run.py

Marked the project directory as source in pycharm, that didn't help either.

Attaching two more screenshots which shows the directory structure. I downloaded the example straight from github and did not change any directory structure. As you can see from the commandline screenshot, i'm running from within the project folder with python in my environment PATH

Thanks!

The current Flask example is incompatible with Python 3. If you are able to switch to Python 2, you should be able to install the dependencies from the requirements file and you won't get this error.

Thanks for your help Martey!

I was able to get it to run with python 2.7 but ran into a different error now, not sure where the problem is now
