# main.py
import os
from fastapi import FastAPI
import uvicorn
from app.api_v1.apis import api_router

# create the app
messages_classification_app = FastAPI()

messages_classification_app.include_router(api_router)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    uvicorn.run("app.main:messages_classification_app", host=os.getenv("HOST", "0.0.0.0"), port=int(os.getenv("PORT", 8000)))



# requirements.in
fastapi
uvicorn
-e file:.#egg=app

Trying to run the fastAPI app with python, results in error:

 py[learning]  ~/r/v/contact-form-classification   master ±  python app/main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/xxxxx/repos/visable/contact-form-classification/app/main.py", line 4, in <module>
    from app.api_v1.apis import api_router
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'app'

Running it with uvicorn directly works:

 py[learning]  ~/r/v/contact-form-classification   master ±  uvicorn app.main:messages_classification_app
INFO:     Started server process [53665]
INFO:     Waiting for application startup.
INFO:     Application startup complete.
INFO:     Uvicorn running on http://127.0.0.1:8000 (Press CTRL+C to quit)

Any idea why? Looked into similar questions, don't seem to apply to mine.

Answer

python app/main.py will make app/ the first entry in sys.path, so app imports within won't work.

Do python -m app.main to run app/main.py as a module without having Python touch sys.path.
