Flask Werkzeug\formparser.py Exception

Trying to run a simple flask app in PyDev and it's giving me this error: File '\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\lib\site-packages\werkzeug\formparser.py', line 28 from w

Solution 1:

Adding '\' to a line tells python that you are going to continue this line in the next line. E.g.

1 + 2 + \
3

is read by python as

1 + 2 + 3

because of this, '\' always needs to be the last character in a line of code. Your error can be easily reproduced by doing anything like

print('hello') \ print('world')

which will raise

  File "C:/Users/.../test.py", line 1
      print('hello') \ print('world')
                              ^
  SyntaxError: unexpected character after line continuation character

so, just either remove the backslash or write anything after it into a new line.
