Description
You're running:
bash
Copy
Edit
PS C:\Users\vince> & C:/Users/vince/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/python3.13.exe ...
But Flask was likely installed only inside your virtual environment, not in your global Python installation at python3.13.exe.
✅ How to Fix It:
- Activate your virtual environment:
Make sure you're in the project directory and run:
powershell
Copy
Edit
.\venv\Scripts\activate
You mentioned you’ve done this — great!
- Use the virtual environment's Python executable:
Instead of this:
powershell
Copy
Edit
& C:/Users/vince/AppData/Local/Microsoft/WindowsApps/python3.13.exe c:/Users/vince/2b_app/2b_app.py
You should run:
powershell
Copy
Edit
python c:/Users/vince/2b_app/2b_app.py
✅ This ensures the virtual environment's version of Python (which has Flask) is used.
- Double-check Flask is installed in your venv:
After activation, run:
bash
Copy
Edit
pip list
Ensure Flask appears in the list.
- Fix the typo in your code (optional but important):
In your 2b_app.py, line 1 has:
python
Copy
Edit
From flask import Flask, render_template
Make sure it’s lowercase from, not From:
python
Copy
Edit
from flask import Flask, render_template
Summary:
✅ Activate venv: .\venv\Scripts\activate
✅ Run the script with: python 2b_app.py
❌ Do not use python3.13.exe directly if Flask isn't installed globally
✅ Correct typo: use lowercase from
Let me know if you need help checking or editing the virtual environment paths.
