My issues: it still shows no flask module even after activating venv and installing flask and after flask run still shows the module not installed. Below is my problem: #25153

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:

  1. 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!

  1. 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.

  1. Double-check Flask is installed in your venv:
    After activation, run:

bash
Copy
Edit
pip list
Ensure Flask appears in the list.

  1. 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.
