I've been following the guide at https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/environment-variables-for-web-apps/ , but I'm still running into some difficulties with doing this.
I have successfully run my environmental variables on my local machine, but can't get it to transfer to Python Anywhere. After following the guide I end up with these files.
WSGI File
import sys
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
# add your project directory to the sys.path
project_home = u'/home/tkellough/mysite/Teaching_Website'
if project_home not in sys.path:
sys.path = [project_home] + sys.path
project_folder = os.path.expanduser(u'/home/tkellough/mysite/Teaching_Website/crhs_web')
load_dotenv(os.path.join(project_folder, '.env'))
# import flask app but need to call it "application" for WSGI to work
from run import app as application # noqa
My routes page
from flask import render_template, url_for, flash, redirect
from crhs_web import app
from crhs_web.forms import RegistrationForm
from crhs_web.scripts import gene_expression
import smtplib
import os
@app.route('/contact', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def contact():
form = RegistrationForm()
if form.validate_on_submit():
smtpObj = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
smtpObj.ehlo()
smtpObj.starttls()
smtpObj.login(os.environ.get('CRHS_EMAIL'), os.environ.get('CRHS_PASS'))
from_address = os.environ.get('CRHS_EMAIL')
to_address = os.environ.get('CRHS_TOEMAIL')
if form.phone.data:
phone = form.phone.data
else:
phone = 'Not provided'
message = f"Name - {form.name.data}\nEmail - {form.email.data}\nPhone - {phone}\nMessage - {form.text.name}"
smtpObj.sendmail(from_addr=from_address, to_addrs=to_address, msg=message)
smtpObj.quit()
flash(f'Thank you for your message, {form.name.data}. You should hear back from me soon!', 'success')
return redirect(url_for('home'))
elif form.errors:
flash(f'Please correct the errors and resubmit the form.', 'danger')
return render_template('contact.html', title='Contact Me', form=form)
return render_template('contact.html', title='Contact Me', form=form)
And my .env file
export CRHS_EMAIL=myfirstemailhere
export TO_EMAIL=mysecondemailhere
export CRHS_PASS=mypasswordhere
I'm thinking I may have something wrong with my WSGI folder and not organizing my directories correctly? But I'm honestly not sure. Here is my directory tree. The only file located in 'Teaching_Website' is my run.py file.
