Hello Manthan,

Do you prefer I share a github repository or just the .py file?

@Shafi I was able to run your code with a little adjustments

I tried your code, but it still shows the same error. Do I need to change anything apart from this code? i was running it on a virtual Environment.

No I didn’t change anything. How did you get hold on the code I ran prior to testing. I am guessing I don’t need to send anymore to you. This is my first time using phidata following concept I saw on YouTube. I am testing phidata for the first time and it’s not acting right. Please how do I get past this

it’s a shame that I put three underscores (___) instead of two ( __ ) in
if __name__ == "__main__":

Anyway, I tried both ‘v2.7.6’ and ‘v2.7.5’. Both of them are working fine.

I also faced this issue.
ERROR: Error loading ASGI app. Import string "playground.app" must be in format "<module>:<attribute>".

I updated the code a bit:
serve_playground_app("playground:app", port=7777, reload=True)

Now it works fine.

I recommend everyone double-check the interpreter that you are using the appropriate venv. I think it was the main issue.
