I have made sure I read all possible post about this but it seems something is still blurred to me. I am learning python by doing a project with flask. My folder structure is as shown below
/source /config __init__.py settings.py /classes __init__.py Dblayer.py /templates index.html test.html myapp.py So in my app I am using the following
from flask import Flask, request, session, g, redirect, url_for, abort, render_template from classes import DbLayer app = Flask(__name__) app.config.from_pyfile("config/settings.py") # this is according to documentation...so I am confused @app.route('/') def index(): return render_template("index.html") @app.route('/viewitems') def showitems(): return render_template("test.html", db= app.config['host']) The content of settings.py is really simple:
database = "somedb" username = "someuser" password = "somepassword" host = "localhost" I used test.html to see the usage of the configuration in flask and I am having a very annoying KeyError: 'host'. Is there anything that I am not doing well?
Thanks
