python - Flask routing to functions with same name in different modules -

if have 2 files, e.g.:

modulea.py

from mypackage import app  @app.route('/modulea/get') def get():     return "a" 

moduleb.py

from mypackage import app  @app.route('/moduleb/get') def get():     return "b" 

and in __init__.py

from flask import flask import ipython import logging  app = flask(__name__,         static_url_path='',          static_folder='static',         template_folder='templates') mypackage import modulea, moduleb 

then flask throw error assertionerror: view function mapping overwriting existing endpoint function: get

i presume python doesn't see conflict here because functions in 2 separate modules, flask does. there better standard use here, or have make function names def getmodulea?

you use variable in route so, simpler solution if application doesn't need modularized:

@app.route('/module/<name>') def get(name):    if name == 'a':       return "a"    else:       return "b" 

else, need use blueprints if want have same url endpoints different functions of application. in both files, import blueprint.

from flask import blueprint 

modulea.py

modulea = blueprint('modulea', __name__,                         template_folder='templates')  @modulea.route('/modulea/get') def get(): return "a" 

moduleb.py

moduleb = blueprint('moduleb', __name__,                         template_folder='templates')  @moduleb.route('/moduleb/get') def get():    return "b" 

and in main app. file, can register these blueprints so:

from modulea import modulea moduleb import moduleb app = flask(__name__) app.register_blueprint(modulea) #give correct template & static url paths here  app.register_blueprint(moduleb)
