OK, This is a text based mailing list so attachments tend
not to make it through the server. If they are not too long post them
here, or if they are bigger put them on a pastebin. However...

Flask is not part of the standard library so a little bit
off topic for this list, you may be better off asking on
the Flask support forum.

Howe er it is a common framework so somebody here might
be able to help.

We really need to see the full error trace and the full
context around the reported fault - ideally the full file.
The probability is that the error is telling the truth
and 'request' is not defined yet. Is it part of Flask?
Should you have prepended the module name?
Is the spelling/case correct?
