Menu
I am new to Python web frameworks and trying to learn Flask. I went through the tutorial and all was good. I am now trying to make my own little app to learn the framework. I had in my main flask.py file the following code
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('main.html')
In main.html I have this html
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{% block content %}
<div> Foo bar test</div>
{% endblock %}
and then in layout.html I have a basic web layout that looks like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Flaskpad</title>
<link href="/static/css/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="/static/css/flaskpad.css" rel="stylesheet">
<style type="text/css">
.socials {
padding: 10px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container">
<ul class="nav">
<li class="active">
<a class="brand" href="#">Flaskpad/a>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Login</a></li>
<li><a href="#">About</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row fcontent">
<div class="span3">
Empty Space
</div>
<div class="span6 maincontent">
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</div>
<div class="span3">
Empty Space
</div>
</div>
<div class="row ffooter">
<div class="span12">
Made by Bar Foo
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
I know the css links are done incorrectly but I just have them there as placeholders. Now when I run python flask.py and go to localhost:5000 the page turns up blank and I cannot figure out why. If I put in normal text in the main.html before the extends that will show up so I know it is loading main.html but it seems to not be extending the layout. The page literally is blank as when you view source there is nothing. I cannot figure this out.

Works for me. Do you have your HTML files in a folder named "templates" relative to your python module?
Here's my full test code.
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('main.html')
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run()
Edit: You said: "I had in my main flask.py file the following code" - You should probably not name it flask.py, this may be screwing things up.
