how can I get the value of variable in another file (FLASK)

Question

I have an app.py file and I want to call a variable in a config file located in the same folder.

I have already tried to import the file but it doesn't recognize it

This is my app.py file

def ldap_connect(data):
   try:
       server = ldap.initialize(app.config['IP_ldap'])

this is my config.py file (located in the same folder)

# coding=utf-8

####CONFIG LDAP####
IP_ldap = "ldap://127.0.0.1"

You need to import the content of your file in app.py with :

from config import *

and then :

app.config['IP_ldap'] = IP_ldap

A simple import will do the trick:

from config import IP_ldap

def ldap_connect(data):
   try:
       server = ldap.initialize(IP_ldap)

from config.py import IP_ldap

if it does't work,

maybe you need add file init.py
