Under /var/www folder you should have a structure like following

/var/www/
/var/www/project-name/
/var/www/project-name/project-name.wsgi
/var/www/project-name/project/__init__.py
/var/www/project-name/project/env
/var/www/project-name/project/...

Project files

project-name.wsgi

#!/usr/bin/python
activate_this = '/var/www/project-name/project/env/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))
import sys
import logging
logging.basicConfig(stream=sys.stderr)
sys.path.insert(0,"/var/www/project-name/")

from project import app as application

__init__.py

... imports
from flask import Flask
# flask settings
app = Flask(__name__)
... app
if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(threaded=True)
