WSGI configuration with flask app

Question

This is the first time I try to use Flash in front back a WSGI server. And I'm not an expert in python. The problem is : When I launch my wsgi app, the wsgi.py is launched and launch my server.py. The flash application is started. But, it launch only the code in main. So the code before the main of my server.py is not executed (exemple the conf reader in my exemple)

wsgi.py

from server import app
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

server.py

from flask import Flask, request
from flask_caching import Cache
import requests
import configparser 

app = Flask(__name__)
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read("config.ini")
cache = Cache(app,config={'CACHE_TYPE': cacheType})

@cache.memoize(5000)
@app.route('/<api>/<type>')
def get_from_splunk(search_query):
    print(urlAPI)
    r = requests.post(urlAPI, data=search_query, auth=(userSplunk, passwordSplunk), verify=False)

if __name__ == '__main__':
     urlAPI = config['config']['urldev']
     app.run(debug=True, host= '0.0.0.0', port=5000)

uwsgi.ini

[uwsgi]
module = wsgi:app
master = true
processes = 5
socket = project.sock
chmod-socket = 660
vacuum = true
die-on-term = true

I think i forgot something by I can't find what.

When I execute it python : python3.6 server.py. All is ok but with wsgi.py I have an error in execution. urlAPI is empty. I can't understand the entrypoint when it's executed from another file in python.

Thank you for your time.

you are not creating flask app, atleast i'm not seeing this! — senaps, Oct 09 '17 at 12:26
Your diagnosis must be incorrect; only the things **outside** of the `__main__` block are run when the file is imported. — Daniel Roseman, Oct 09 '17 at 12:30
@AdrienFERRARI please have your question edited and add the informtation needed. — senaps, Oct 09 '17 at 13:29
I have edited it, I think it's better like this ... I think this just a concept that i didn't catch in python. — Adrien FERRARI, Oct 09 '17 at 13:49
If I understand my app.run() from wsgi.py run my main function of server.py ? So how can I execute the code before my main (like the config instruction) ? — Adrien FERRARI, Oct 09 '17 at 13:59
