The tutorials I have seen use the following code to run the server:
if __name__ == '__main__':
socketio.run(app)
My __init__.py file is:
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
from sqlalchemy import *
from flask.ext.socketio import SocketIO, emit
app = Flask(__name__)
socketio = SocketIO(app)
app.debug = True
engine = create_engine('mysql://root:my_pw@localhost/db_name')
DBSession = sessionmaker(bind=engine)
import couponmonk.views
My views.py file contains all the @app.route and @socketio decorators.
My question is, where should I be placing the code:
socketio.run(app)
When I put it in the __init__.py_ file, I receive the errors:
File "/opt/lampp/htdocs/flaskapp/flask.wsgi", line 7, in <module>
from couponmonk import app as application
File "/home/giri/Desktop/couponmonk/venv/couponmonk/__init__.py", line 14, in <module>
socketio.run(app)
