Divide flask routes into multiple modules without using blueprints?

Question

I'd like to divide routes into multiple modules, but I don't want to use blueprints as answered in this question. The docs imply I can just import my views files in __init__.py, but I can’t seem to get more than one to work. Should more than one be able to work?

This is a pared-down version of my __init__.py:

from flask import Flask
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy

#
# App Configuration
#

gApp = Flask(__name__)

gApp.config.from_object(__name__)

gApp.config.update(dict(
    DEBUG = True,
    ...
))

#
#   Import the views. I don't know why I can't do more than one
#

import tsint.app
import tsint.admin

It turns out, this is perfectly acceptable. As I was trying to re-create the error I got to round out the question, I got it to work. I decided to leave this here to help someone else.

I must’ve gotten an import statement wrong somewhere (Flask is very bad about telling you which import actually fails).

Do you have any more insight on this? What did the failure look like, etc? – msouth Jun 20 '19 at 12:45
Oh gosh, I'm sorry, that was so long ago I don't remember any more. – Rick Jun 20 '19 at 18:48
