I'm building a Flask application and try to install it afterwards in another venv. Issue is that my configuration file is not picked up.
I create the tar file with python setup.py sdist and end up with the following structure.
Then I create a new venv and install the tar file with pip install energy-1.0.tar.gz
When I then start a ptyhon shell and import app it returns ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'config'
This is the code for my app file where I also tried to add the root directory to the path.
from flask import logging
os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))
from app import app
if __name__ == "__main__":
gunicorn_logger = logging.getLogger('gunicorn.error')
app.logger.handlers = gunicorn_logger.handlers
app.logger.setLevel(gunicorn_logger.level)
app.run()
and the init file of the app module where the error occurs.
import os
from flask import Flask
from flask_login import LoginManager
from .auth.auth_controller import auth_app
from .database import db
from .database.models import User
from .profile.profile_controller import profile_app
from .uploads.file_upload_controller import file_upload_app
app = Flask(__name__)
gunicorn_logger = logging.getLogger('gunicorn.error')
app.logger.handlers = gunicorn_logger.handlers
app.logger.setLevel(gunicorn_logger.level)
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'secret-key-goes-here'
env = app.config['ENV']
if env == "production":
app.config.from_object('config.Config')
elif env == "development":
app.config.from_object('config.ConfigDevelopment')
elif env == "local":
os.environ['AUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT'] = '1'
app.config.from_object("config.ConfigLocal")
Stack:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

werkzeug.utils.ImportStringError: import_string() failed for 'config.Config'. Possible reasons are:
- missing __init__.py in a package;
- package or module path not included in sys.path;
- duplicated package or module name taking precedence in sys.path;
- missing module, class, function or variable;
Debugged import:
- 'config' not found.
Original exception:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'config'
So the question is how to access the config from the root directory after installing the module with pip.
