Install Flask on webfaction
Add new application in Webfaction
Click the Add an application button, then Create a new application, and in the pop-over form:
Name: my_app
(I
like to keep the application name the same as the site name, unless I have multiple applications handling one site)
App category: mod_wsgi
App type: mod_wsgi 4.5.2/Python 3.5
(latest
versions as of this writing)
Open port: leave unchecked
URL: should be pre-filled with
http://example.com/
Save
Once saved, click Save again to finish creating the new website.
Yay! Now visit your domain in your browser and you should see something like this:

Setup a virtualenv using python
First,
ssh
into your web server and change to the site’s webapp directory:
$ ssh user@example.com
$ cd webapps/my_app
Then, let’s make a virtual environment for the new Flask site to run under. I’m calling mine
`my_app.
python3
.6
-m venv ~
/.virtualenvs/my
_app
activate your virtualenvsource
source ~/.virtualenvs/my_app/bin/activate
update your pip to make sure it is current
pip install
—upgrade
pip
Install Flask
pip install Flask
Fixup from virtualenv — this is a hack I don’t know how to get around
