Question

when deploying my app I get an pkgutil error

I am trying to deploy my first flask app, and during the deployment of it I get an AttributeError: module ‘pkgutil’ has no attribute ‘ImpImporter’. Did you mean: ‘zipimporter’? error. The flask app runs fine on my local machine. I am unsure how to fix this, is this something I need to set up in my code first to work or how do I handle this?

Heya @derickbrower,

Can you share the steps you are taking before you get this error?

Additionally, are you using App Platform or a Droplet to try and deploy the application?
