I have a simple flask application that works really well. I've been developing it separately from the main desktop application, I want to "plugin" the flask application into the main application. I also want to use cherrypy as the webserver as the default webserver that comes with flask is not production ready. I am not sure how to get both these to work together. My flask application code looks like this
from flask import Flask, render_template,send_from_directory
from scripts_data import test_data
from schedule_data import scheduledata
import os
app=Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/scripts')
def scripts():
test_data=t_data()
return render_template('scripts.html',data_scripts=test_data)
@app.route('/sch')
def schedules():
data_schedule=s_data()
return render_template('schedules.html',table_data=data_schedule)
if __name__=='__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
so obviously as I want to integrate into the main application I can't use app.run. Its not clear how to swap out the flask webserver for the Cherrypy Webserver
I have seen the following
from flask import Flask
import cherrypy
app = Flask(__name__)
app.debug = True
Class setup_webserver(object):
@app.route("/")
def hello():
return "Hello World!"
def run_server():
# Mount the WSGI callable object (app) on the root directory
cherrypy.tree.graft(app, '/')
# Set the configuration of the web server
cherrypy.config.update({
'engine.autoreload_on': True,
'log.screen': True,
'server.socket_port': 5000,
'server.socket_host': '0.0.0.0'
})
# Start the CherryPy WSGI web server
cherrypy.engine.start()
cherrypy.engine.block()
Class start_it_all(object)
import setup_webserver
setup_webserver.run_server()
But when I start the webserver and go to the site (0.0.0.0:5000) I get a 404?
I don't get the 404 when its just flask on its own. All I want to do is swap out the flask built-in webserver for the cherrpy webserver. I don't want to use cherrypy for anything else, as Flask will be the framework
Any suggestions? I'm on Windows and using python 2.7
