Can't view my app

I'm watching the "First steps" video on "Flask basics" and it doesn't let me pick a port like in the video so when I click on preview I get "Index of /Simple App/app.py" Here's my code: 

from flask import Flask


app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return 'Hello from Treehouse'

app.run(debug=True, port=8000, host='0.0.0.0')

Did you run the program in the Console?

If you didn't, you have to remember to type this:

python simple_app.py

Before you try to view your program.

Good luck! ~alex
