2017-02-03 19:02:08,263 :Error running WSGI application
2017-02-03 19:02:08,265 :ImportError: No module named 'flask_app'
2017-02-03 19:02:08,266 :  File "/var/www/tess_pythonanywhere_com_wsgi.py", line 119, in <module>
2017-02-03 19:02:08,266 :    from flask_app import app as application

# +++++++++++ FLASK +++++++++++
# Flask works like any other WSGI-compatible framework, we just need
# to import the application.  Often Flask apps are called "app" so we
# may need to rename it during the import:
#
#
import sys
#
## The "/home/tess" below specifies your home
## directory -- the rest should be the directory you uploaded your Flask
## code to underneath the home directory.  So if you just ran
## "git clone git@github.com/myusername/myproject.git"
## ...or uploaded files to the directory "myproject", then you should
## specify "/home/tess/myproject"
path = '/home/tess/mysite'
if path not in sys.path:
    sys.path.append(path)

## After you uncomment the line below, the yellow triangle on the left
## side in our in-browser editor shows a warning saying:
##     'application' imported but unused.
## You can ignore this error. The line is necessary, and the variable
## is used externally.
from flask_app import app as application
#
# NB -- many Flask guides suggest you use a file called run.py; that's
# not necessary on PythonAnywhere.  And you should make sure your code
# does *not* invoke the flask development server with app.run(), as it
# will prevent your wsgi file from working.

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()
