Flaskr - Flask's Tutorial Application

Hosted on AWS Elastic Bean(EB): http://flask-env2.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/

Steps to host on EB:

• download and install EB CLI

• generate list of dependencies from the Python environment:

pip freeze > REQUIREMENTS.txt

Remove line referencing git repository and pkg-resources==0.0.0 if present.

• create .ebignore file and add ignore relevant directories/files

issue 1:

issue 2: Python Module Imports

In the tutorial by default, the application factory, create_app(), imports db.py, blog.py, and auth.py by using relative imports:

from . import db

and refers to the modules by their name.

This will not work on EB. Solution:

import flaskr.db

flaskr is the package, as dictated by the presence of init.py, and db is a module within that package.

You must then refer to db as flaskr.db.
