Aite,

So i'm coming over from nodejs. And i cannot understand how to start a flask project.

I've downloaded python, and its showing in my file system but It doesn't seem to do anything. If I open my command prompt and check for the version with "python --version" it returns nothing. If I simply type "python" on the command prompt, it opens the Microsoft store. So dunno what that's all about.

Anyway I just want to start a flask project and start learning. With nodejs i'd just open vscode, run npm init and away I go...Can someone describe in plain English how to start a flask app to get me setup in vscode.

I've just uninstalled python so i'm starting from zero.

Thanks.

Help with Flask on a mac?? I run this code:

from flask import Flask 
app = Flask(__name__)  
@app.route('/') 
def hello_world(): 
    return 'Hello World!' 
if __name__ == "__main__":     
    app.run(debug=True)

I see this in my terminal: (py3Env) michaelsduwors@Michaels-MacBook-Pro hello_flask % pip list Package Version ------------ ------- click 8.0.4

Flask 2.0.3

itsdangerous 2.1.1

Jinja2 3.0.3

MarkupSafe 2.1.1

pip 22.0.4

setuptools 57.0.0

Werkzeug 2.0.3

(py3Env) michaelsduwors@Michaels-MacBook-Pro hello_flask % python hello.py

* Serving Flask app 'hello' (lazy loading)

* Environment: production WARNING: This is a development server. Do not use it in a production deployment. Use a production WSGI server instead.

* Debug mode: on * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)

* Restarting with stat

* Debugger is active!

* Debugger PIN: 128-051-052

Terminal appears to be working as it should, but I see this when I go to localhost:5000/ in my browser:"Access to localhost was denied. You don't have authorization to view this page." I had no problem accessing localhost:8000 when I used Django before.

Edit: I later learned that the new Mac OS uses port 5000 for the airplay receiver. So I use

app.run(debug=true,port=5001)

And everything works fine.
