ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'application' when deploying Flask app on AWS Elastic-CodePudding

I've been struggling with an ostensibly simple error while trying to deploy a Flask app on AWS Elastic Beanstalk for quite some time now. Launching the app gives a 502 Bad Gateway error. The traceback in the logs reads:

Traceback (most recent call last):

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'application'

My flask app, in application.py, is as simple as it gets:

from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template

application = app = Flask(__name__)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    application.run()

@application.route("/")
def index():
    return render_template('index.html', name=None)

As is my directory structure. I upload ball.zip which contains:

ball/
    application.py
    requirements.txt
    static/
    templates/

The application is using Python 3.7 run on 64bit Amazon Linux 2/3.3.9. I've also checked that the configuration variable WSGIPath is set to application. Does anyone have any pointers on fixing this? Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

You should not have folder "ball" in your zip. Every file should be in the root of the zip, not in the folder "ball".
