Flask(_name_) error please

[benyrey]

Hello world,

I installed flask ([email protected] ~ $ sudo pip install flask) but then I get
the following error:
app = Flask(_name_)
NameError: name '_name_' is not define
As usually I do not know what the heck to do.

Thanks a lot

Beny

I think there should be 2 underscores before and after 'name':

Code: Select all

app = Flask(__name__)

Gr.
Dirk.

Thanks DirkS,

You're right: two underscore(s) before and after 'name'

I appreciate your support

I'm fairly new with Flask, but you might consider adding if ___name == "__main__": before app.run(). Has to do with decorators which I'm still learning about.

I've run a couple of simple scripts that way without problems. Hope this helps.

Your error message still shows single underscores before and after name.
