"""WSGI entrypoint for production servers (gunicorn/uWSGI/etc.). This file exposes a module-level WSGI callable named `app` (and `application`) so common servers can run the project without relying on Flask's dev server. Examples: gunicorn -w 4 -b 0.0.0.0:8000 wsgi:app uwsgi --http :8000 --wsgi-file wsgi.py --callable app """ from __future__ import annotations import os # `flask run` loads .env/.flaskenv automatically via python-dotenv. # Production WSGI servers typically *don't*, so we best-effort load `.env` here. # In real production, prefer setting environment variables via your process manager. try: from dotenv import load_dotenv load_dotenv(os.environ.get("DOTENV_PATH", ".env"), override=False) except Exception: # If python-dotenv isn't installed (or any other issue occurs), continue. pass from app import create_app app = create_app() # Some servers (and hosting platforms) look specifically for `application`. application = app
