Root Cause

Two modules import each other, often app -> routes -> app for `app` object or blueprint registration.

generic

中文

两个模块相互导入，通常是app -> routes -> app以获取app对象或注册蓝图。

Workarounds

  1. 93% success 
    def create_app():\n    app = Flask(__name__)\n    from .routes import bp\n    app.register_blueprint(bp)\n    return app
  2. 88% success 
    def register():\n    from .routes import bp\n    app.register_blueprint(bp)

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 65% fail

    Still executed at import time; cycle remains.

  2. 90% fail

    Cycle is structural, not naming.
