I was getting the same error.

Few things I did was:

  1. Made a change: application = app = Flask(__name__).
  2. Renamed the python file to application.py.

Also very important: whatever files are required select those and zip them (right-click "send to" -> "compressed" in windows) and upload to the beanstalk.

DO NOT put all the required files in a folder and zip. This was the reason behind ModuleNotFound: No Module name 'application'.

You are running your application on port 8000. However, EB will expect it on port 5000. So either you change the default port on the EB, your you modify your application to run on port 5000:

application.run('localhost', 5000,debug=True)

You might need to add the modules to the environments path variable so that the module lookup is sucessful. Run the following from a file/ command line-

import sys
import os
sys.path.append("/path_to_your_app/eb-flask")
