builtins.NameError NameError: name 'flask' is not defined

I am facing this problem while running my flask.py app:

Traceback:

    return self.wsgi_app(environ, start_response)

NameError: name 'flask' is not define

Here is my flask and template html

flask.py

import os
import subprocess
import request

from flask import (Flask, request, session, g, redirect, url_for, abort, render_template, flash)

app = Flask(__name__) # create the application instance :)
app.config.from_object(__name__) # load config from this file , flaskr.py

@app.route('/siteOFF', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def siteoff():
   error = None
   subprocess.call(['/root/sitetoggle/flaskr/testOFF.sh'], shell=True)
   return render_template('layout.html', error=error)


@app.route('/siteON', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def siteon():
    def inner():
        proc = subprocess.Popen(
            ['dmesg'],             #call something with a lot of output so we can see it
            shell=True,
            stdout=subprocess.PIPE
        )

        for line in iter(proc.stdout.readline,''):
            time.sleep(1)                           # Don't need this just shows the text streaming
            yield line.rstrip() + '<br/>\n'

    return flask.Response(inner(), mimetype='text/html')  # text/html is required for most browsers to show th$
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run()

index.html

<!doctype html>
<title>Flaskr</title>
<link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href="{{ url_for('static', filename='style.css') }}">
<div class=page>
<div>
<h4>Turn site OFF or ON </h4>
<input type="button" name="lien1" value="Turn ON site"
 onclick="self.location.href='http://10.10.1.8:5000/siteON'" style="background-color:#3cb371"
style="color:white; font-weight:bold"onclick>

<input type="button" name="lien2" value="Turn OFF site"
 onclick="self.location.href='http://10.10.1.8:5000/siteOFF'" style="background-color:#1ab171"
style="color:white; font-weight:bold"onclick>
</div>
</div>

I am using the flaskr app which I customized to call bash script within the flask page. Everything else is still working correctly except the two functions siteon() and siteoff() which I defined in my flask.py and trying to call them in the html page.

This is the bad line:

return flask.Response(inner(), mimetype='text/html')

So do:

from flask import (Flask, request, session, g, redirect, url_for, abort, render_template, flash, Response)

Then: 

return Response(inner(), mimetype='text/html')
