How to change pythonpath for WSGI application in alwaysdata.net

Question

I created a small Python web application using Flask, and I wanted to put it in the alwaysdata.net file. I already installed mod_wsgi in my subdomain, but when I try to import the main module of my application, it fails because it cannot be found. All files are located in the / www folder.

Should I post files elsewhere? I tried to include the current working directory in my .wsgi file, but it still does not work.

For reference, my .wsgi looks like this:

import os import sys sys.path.append(os.getcwd()) from ngl import app as application 

My application is called ngl.py and it is in the same folder as the .wsgi file.

Thanks!

The current working directory in mod_wsgi will not be where the WSGI script is located, so you should not use os.getcwd (). Cm:

To do what you want, use:

 sys.path.append(os.path.dirname(__file__)) 

This computes the directory that the WSGI script file is in, obtaining the component of the directory path of the WSGI script file name written in the __file__ variable.
