Pylint error: no name in module when import a package

Question

I'm learning a little bit how function python, more specific Flask.

I'm creating a new project using flask, but when I create a new file and import Flask I receive this error: No name 'Flask' in module 'flask'pylint(no-name-in-module)

I did read that, I need create a file called: __init__.py but I have this and the error keeps showing up.

This is my actual code (very simple code, and folder/files structure):

Thanks for the help! :D

I tried this: Flask ImportError: No Module Named Flask, but this solution does not works for me.

This means, flask is not inslled in pycharm project's virtual env . — Harsha Biyani, Apr 10 '20 at 04:41
but... i did install Flask using "pip install flask" into my Virtual env — Reco Jhonatan, Apr 10 '20 at 04:43
then may be python interpreter is not installed in visual studio. — Harsha Biyani, Apr 10 '20 at 04:46

@HarshaBiyani i did uptate the post with the captures about my vs config — Reco Jhonatan, Apr 10 '20 at 04:53
well, you need to configure your python interpreter in the VS code. once configured your Virtual environment and install flask in that virtual env your ide error will gone — sahasrara62, Apr 10 '20 at 04:43
u need to add the interpreter to the project in VS code, not use terminal output, u r using default python environment not the virtuaal one — sahasrara62, Apr 10 '20 at 04:55
I selected the python interpreter like this: (ctrl + shift + p) > Python: select interpreter > (in this step Vs code show me two options, one is the env the other is python global). i did try selecting the two options but the error appear whit both — Reco Jhonatan, Apr 10 '20 at 05:02

I installed flask on python 2.7 and run simple hello world script and it worked fine. Then I updated python to python 3.8 and I got an error similar to yours:

Unable to import 'flask'pylint(import-error)

I simply uninstalled flask and installed again and it worked for me. Run this two commands:

pip uninstall flask
pip install flask

Then export the FLASK_APP environment variable and run flask

set FLASK_APP=file.py
flask run

I solved this changing my python interpreter. I did uninstall pylint and install pylama and now all is fine!
