How can I use Flask Admin panel in a different package?

This is my application structure:

/blog
    /blog
        /app.py
         models.py
         views.py
        /admin
            __init__py
            views.py
            ...

I want to use flask-admin extension in a different package.

in /admin/__init__.py I imported the app and flask-admin extension:

from flask.ext.admin import Admin
from app import app

then I initiate the admin app like that:

admin = Admin(app)

However, I get 404 error. Why? Should I use blueprint or what?

I assume you're trying to hit the default /admin routes within your Flask app for Flask admin?

My guess right now is that none of your code does import admin anywhere, which is probably good since admin's __init__.py will try to re-import your app.py all over again (from the from app import app reference) and you'll end up in a circular dependency.

What I'd do is alter app.py to contain the admin = Admin(app) and from flask.ext.admin import Admin code, and also do a from admin import views and empty out the admin/__init__.py file completely.
