Flask directory Structure

I have flask project which work on presently. (below)

Flask project directory

When I run this project using command

python run.py

I get following error.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "run.py", line 1, in from site import app ImportError: cannot import name 'app'

run.py

from site import app
import os

app.secret_key = os.urandom(24)
port = int(os.environ.get('PORT', 5000))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug="True")
# app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)

__init__.py

from .views import app
from .models import db


db.create_all()

app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'postgresql://postgres:password@localhost:5432/db'
app.config['SECURITY_REGISTERABLE'] = True

views.py

from flask import Flask
from .models import User, db
from flask import render_template, request, redirect, url_for
from flask.ext.security import login_required

app = Flask(__name__, static_url_path='')

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')


@app.route('/profile/<email>')
@login_required
def user_index(email):
    user = User.query.filter_by(email=email).first()
    return render_template('profile.html', user=user)


@app.route('/post_user', methods=['POST'])
def post_user():
    if request.form["action"] == "submit_btn":
        user = User(request.form['username'], request.form['email'])
        db.session.add(user)
        db.session.commit()
        return redirect(url_for('index'))

models.py

from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.mail import Mail, Message
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from flask.ext.security import Security, SQLAlchemyUserDatastore, UserMixin, RoleMixin

app = Flask(__name__, static_url_path='')
db = SQLAlchemy(app)
mail = Mail()
class User(db.Model, UserMixin):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    email = db.Column(db.String(255), unique=True)
    password = db.Column(db.String(255))
    active = db.Column(db.Boolean())
    confirmed_at = db.Column(db.DateTime())
    roles = db.relationship('Role', secondary=roles_users,
                            backref=db.backref('users', lazy='dynamic'))

What should be the directory structure? Also how should I import the models and views in order to make the server work?

Please tell me if you need any other info, thanks in advance.

Rename the site's name so python dont try to import the site standard library, also is better to define the app inside the init.py file: Docs
