Hi, everybody!
I have a problem, when I try to launch this code locally, using PowerShell on Windows 7:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
app.route('/')
app.route('/<name>')
def index(name="Treehouse"):
return "Hello from {}".format(name)
app.run(debug=True, port=8000, host='127.0.0.1') # I changed host, so I can get to the page using my browser.
and when I run this script, it throws an exception:
File "c:\python35\Lib\socket.py", line 658, in getfqdn
hostname, aliases, ipaddrs = gethostbyaddr(name)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xcf in position 2: invalid continuation byte
Is it because of some problem with utf to convert some symbols in uncode?
Not sure about the byte decode issue, but there is another issue with your code.
The app.route decorators need to be prefixed with an at sign @
@app.route('/')
@app.route('/<name>')
def index(name="Treehouse"):
return "Hello from {}".format(name)
Post back if that's not the issue.
