Flask debugger: error: could not import "C" #48972

Issue Type: Bug

When starting the flask debugger I get the error below. This does not occur when I start the debugger via the command prompt. My expectation would be that the flask app will run and that I can access it via localhost. I do not understand what "C" is which it tries to import and when starting the debugger I received an error: unable to find "". This might be related to the problem.
