python - Flask: NameError: 'app' is not defined? -

my flask application has been running fine last 24 hours, took offline work on , i'm trying start again , i'm getting error:

traceback (most recent call last):   file "runserver.py", line 1, in <module>     app import app   file "/home/my name/app folder name/app.py", line 15, in <module>     views import *   file "/home/my name/app folder name/views.py", line 1, in <module>     @app.route('/contact', methods=('get', 'post')) nameerror: name 'app' not defined 

i running application calling python runserver.py

runserver.py:

from app import app  app.run(threaded = true, debug=true, host='0.0.0.0') 

views.py: contains of routes, won't post them all, error coming first time app mentioned in file.

@app.route('/contact', methods=('get', 'post')) def contact():     form = contactform()      if request.method == 'post':         msg = message("censored,             sender='censored',             recipients=['censored'])         msg.body = """             from: %s <%s>,             %s             """ % (form.name.data, form.email.data, form.message.data)         mail.send(msg)         return "><p><br>successfully  sent message!</p></body>"     elif request.method == 'get':         return render_template('contact.html', form=form) 

app.py: here top of app.py file, define app = flask(__name__) import statements.

from flask import flask, request, render_template, redirect, url_for, send_file geopy.geocoders import bing geopy.exc import geocodertimedout import re import urllib bs4 import beautifulsoup openpyxl import load_workbook openpyxl.styles import style, font import os import pandas pd import numpy np import datetime helper_file import * lists import * views import * flask_mail import mail, message forms import contactform  global today  geolocator = bing('censored')  app = flask(__name__) 

edit: have made changes suggested in answer below, getting when access page:

not found

the requested url not found on server. if entered url manually please check spelling , try again.

here file structure:

dhlsoftware.com |-static     |-style.css |-templates     |- seperate html file each page template |-app.py |-forms.py |-helper_file.py |-lists.py |-runserver.py |-views.py 

in app.py should remove from views import *. instead in views.py need have from app import app

that bring app views namespace , believe should work you.
