Python Script Not Running

Question

I am relatively new to python and have setup a local virtualenviorenment on my mac desktop. I am utilizing the Flask, jsonify, and requests frameworks.

Inside of myvirtualenviorenment I have two files: one that just uses flask and one which uses flask, jsonify, and requests frameworks. I believe I have imported all these frameworks correctly, but when I run the second file, which is a GET request, using all 3 frameworks, I dont get a response at all from terminal.

However, I am able to access 127.0.0.1:5000 when just using the Flask framework. Did I not properly import the jsonify and request frameworks?

Below is my code for the non-working file:

from flask import Flask, jsonify, request #import objects from the Flask model
app = Flask(__name__) #define app using Flask

@app.route('/', methods=['GET'])
def test():
    return jsonify({'message' : 'It works!'})

    if __name__== '__main__':
        app.run(debug=True, port=8080) #run app on port 8080 in debug mode

correct. this is the non-working file that I have tried running. does it have something to do with the port being 8080? — a2b123

well i am trying to run: python restful.py (my file name, and what is shown above), but nothing happens. how can i change my sever to port 8080 when running python? — a2b123

You have set the port to be 8080, so what you want to do now is just running this file and accessing 127.0.0.1:8080 — ettanany

Please go ahead and unindent

if __name__== '__main__':
        app.run(debug=True, port=8080) #run app on port 8080 in debug mode

Running this file with python will now start the development server.

it was an indentation issue after all...i feel silly. thank you for catching this

You're welcome. Later, when you build bigger projects, you may have a file run.py that contains only the app.run part so you keep your project modularized.

Your indentation seems wrong def test() should not be indented, is this the way the code is written or just the way you copied? The same goes to if __name__ == '__main__'

i actually messed it up indenting it in stackoverflow. i have corrected it above and it now reflects what my code actually looks like with indentations.

That could have been the reason the code is not working
