I'm using sublime text 3. I copied your code and it worked for me. what do you have in the URL? Type 127.0.0.1:5000 into the URL .

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def index(name="Treehouse"):
    return "Hello from {}".format(name)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)
