1,571 PointsHaving trouble installing flask
Hi, I recently downloaded Python 3.5.1 and I am trying to install flask and run its libraries in my interpreter. I installed pip and flask in the terminal; however when I try to run something with flask in my interpreter I am getting an error.
The file I am trying to run is: from flask import Flask app = Flask(name)
@app.route("/") def hello(): return "Hello World!"
if name == "main": app.run()
The error I am getting is: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/elizabethcurrier/Documents/hello.py", line 1, in <module> from flask import Flask ImportError: No module named 'flask'
Thank you for any help with this. Brandon

app = Flask(__name__)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
