TypeError: 'str' object is not callable Flask Redirect

I can't get Flask to redirect!

I keep getting a 

File "/Users/kyle.calica-steinhil/Code/wcp2018/wcp18/app/app.py", line 32, in slackRedirect
    return redirect(url)
TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

I have no idea why this is not working. I'm passing a string in redirect() I'm pretty sure that's what it takes.

I've also tried ' to "

Code: 

slackAPI='https://slack.com/oauth/authorize'
slack_client_id='XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
scope='bot'
redirect='http://localhost:5000/'

@app.route('/auth')
def slackRedirect():
    url = slackAPI+'?client_id='+slack_client_id+'&scope='+scope+'&redirect_uri='+redirect
    return redirect(url)

You are redefining what redirect means. redirect redirects client to target location, so just rename redirect to something else, following line:

redirect_url='http://localhost:5000/'

The problem you are facing is with naming conflicts. Your module level variable redirect actually overrides the flask.redirect() method that you are trying to use:

redirect='http://localhost:5000/'

Rename this redirect variable to something else and your problem will be solved. That's assuming you've properly imported the flask.redirect method in your module:

from flask import  redirect
