Hi I'm trying to load a config file and set it in an environment variable but it will throw an exception. Here's the code in wsgi.py file.
import sys
# add your project directory to the sys.path
project_home = u'/home/coinage/mysite'
config_file = project_home + u"/config.py"
if project_home not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(project_home)
import os
os.environ['APP_SETTINGS'] = config_file
# import flask app but need to call it "application" for WSGI to work
from coinage import app as application
Here's the error: ImportError: Import by filename is not supported. 2016-08-23 13:29:27,952 :Error running WSGI application Traceback (most recent call last): File "/bin/user_wsgi_wrapper.py", line 154, in call app_iterator = self.app(environ, start_response) File "/bin/user_wsgi_wrapper.py", line 170, in import_error_application raise e ImportStringError: import_string() failed for '/home/coinage/mysite/config.py'. 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:
- '/home/coinage/mysite/config' not found.
Original exception:
ImportError: Import by filename is not supported.
Any help are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
