Error generating Swagger server (Python Flask) from Swagger editor

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36416679/error-generating-swagger-server-python-flask-from-swagger-editor

I've used the Swagger Editor to manually generate my Swagger spec file and generated the files for a Python Flask server. Following the README I installed connexion, but when I run python app.py I get the error:  ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack. Any ideas?

Full stack trace below:

No handlers could be found for logger "connexion.api"

I ran into this as well. From what I see, the generated code from Swagger seems to assume you're using Python 3. While connexion supports both Python 2.7 & 3.4+, it does need a __init__.py file in the generated python-flask-server/ base directory as well as inside the controllers/ subdirectory to work for Python 2.7 (Implicit Namespace Packages were introduced in Python 3.3). If you create those 2 empty files after generating the code, things should work. If the Swagger generator wants to support Python 2.7 (since connexion allows for it), it would just need to provide those files as well.
