How to resolve the error ''function' object has no attribute 'form'' in Flask python?

Question

I have no idea what this error means:

selected = request.form.get('industry')

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'form'

Can anyone help?

in your routes.py: add form = ClassName().

You have defined or imported a function called "request". For example by importing all attributes from a module that contains a function named "request": "from module1 import *". This shadows the request from Flask.

You've imported the wrong request.

I suppose that you might have imported an request previously defined as a function from other packages and shadows flask.request. That's wrong.

What you should do is to import request from flask through the following command:

from flask import request
