flask isn't working

running(in the workspace):

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__) 

app.run(debug=True, port=8000, host='0.0.0.0')

It shoots out an error for the first line so i check "pip freeze" and nothing pops up.

Then when i try "pip intall flask" it says "Requirement already satisfied: flask in /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages (0.10.1)"

i check again if it works but it still doesnt.

And when i try to intall it in a virtual environment it says "ERROR: Can not perform a '--user' install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv."

safe to say i am completely clueless, would really apprechiate it if someone told me whats going on

Hey Liam Guthmann 👋

Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention! I've just tried things on my end and am indeed running into the same issue you're experiencing. I've let our dev team know about this issue to look into it.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
