Had a few issues. Differences between local machine and the remote webfaction hosts was mainly it.

virtual environment

i was using virtualenv on my local and webfaction uses pyvenv. needed to get pyvenv installed on my local machine.

sudo apt-get install python3.5-venv

requirements

using python3.5 runtime

pip install -r requirements.txt the requirement pkg-resources cannot be found.

pkg-resources is not to be found as a package. it is in the setuptools package. tested by installing setuptools and could see that pkg-resources would appear along with setuptools in the site-packages folder.

what?

needed to get an environment variable set in the apache/conf/httpd.conf into the flask application.

htdocs/index.py

import os
from htdocs import webfaction


def application(environ, start_response):
    """
    transport any environment variables from the apache
    system into the flask wsgi application space
    """
    for key in environ:
        if key.startswith('MYAPP_'):
            os.environ[key] = environ[key]

    # import the flask application
    from myapp.main import app

    # load some middleware to append the current appname to /
    app.wsgi_app = webfaction.Middleware(app.wsgi_app)

    return app(environ, start_response)
