Explanation of Flags and Flak-SocketIO Integration and Import

I am trying to integrate Flask-SocketIO with my flash app.

For some reason I am getting an import error caused by from .. import socketio

what I have in my events.py and I am not sure why.

I would really appreciate the help provided.

app.py

from factory import create_app
app = create_app()

      

        
        
        
      

    

factory.py

from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.socketio import SocketIO
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager
import os
from celery import Celery

lm = LoginManager()
socketio = SocketIO()
lm.login_view = 'main.login'
lm.session_protection = 'strong'


def create_app():
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.config.from_object(os.environ.get('APP_CONFIG'))  # export APP_CONFIG=settings.Development
    lm.init_app(app)

    from project.main import main as main_blueprint

    app.register_blueprint(main_blueprint)
    socketio.init_app(app)

    return app
