[FIXED] Flask running error

Issue

http://blog.miguelgrinberg.com/post/the-flask-mega-tutorial-part-i-hello-world

I am following this flask tutorial. ^ When Running the program using python run.py the code below runs fine. But when I follow the instructions from the tutorial -> ./run.py I end up getting this ->

from: can't read /var/mail/flask
    ./run.py: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token ('
    ./run.py: line 2: app = Flask(__name__)

Code I'm running

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

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

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

Does anyone know why it's not running properly when using the ./run.py? using Mac

Solution

do the following (assuming you are on mac/linux) chmod 755 file.py the file is your file.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

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

if __name__ == '__main__':
     app.run()
