So I am just starting a project in flask and I am using the proper folder structure for the first time and I keep getting this error. I am confused as to why and haven't faced this problem before.

I have tried renaming files and using from . import views but to no avail.

app.py

from flask import Flask
from app import views

app = Flask(__name__)

views.py

from app import app

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return "Hello World!"

run.py

from app import app
app.run(debug=True)

Folder structure:

app
    static
    templates
    app.py
    run.py
    views.py

tmp

Traceback (most recent call last): File "app.py", line 2, in from app import views File "/Users/Josh/PycharmProjects/web1/app/app.py", line 2, in from app import views ImportError: cannot import name 'views'
