启动时Flask应用程序引发“ ImportError：没有名为Utils的模块”

Question

I created the following simple Flask app. I get ImportError: No module named Utils when I try to run it. I have a file called email.py , if I rename it, the error goes away. python --version returns 2.7. What is causing the error? Why does it go away when I rename the module?

from flask import Flask
from flask import request

app=Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/',methods=['GET','POST'])
def home():
return '<h1>home</h1>'
@app.route('/signin',methods=['GET'])
def signin_form():
    return '''<form action="/signin" method="post">
    <p><input name="username"></p>
    <p><input name=password"> type="password"></p>
    <p><button type="submit">Sign In</button></p>
    </form>'''

@app.route('/signin',methods=['POST'])
def signin():

   if request.form['username']=='admin' and request.form['password']=='password':
        return '<h3>hello ,admin!<h3>'
    return '<h3>bad username or password</h3>'

if __name__=='__main__':
    app.run()

ImportError: No module named Utils

Answer 1

Okay, so it looks like that there was a naming conflict with your script named email.py. There is a package in Python called email with module Utils . When Python searches for this package, it finds your script first in its path, so it grabs it and tries to import the Utils module, but cannot find it. Just rename your custom script as email1.py, Email.py, or anything other than email.py and you should be okay.

Answer 2

I put a socket.py file at the workspace, and same problem as yours occurred. Change the filename to prevent the module conflict should fix this.
