Have found one or two people on the interwebs with similar problems, but haven't seen a solution posted anywhere. I'm getting a build error from the code/template below, but can't figure out where the issue is or why it's occurring. It appears that the template isn't recognizing the function, but don't know why this would be occurring. Any help would be greatly appreciated - have been pounding my against the keyboard for two nights now.

Function:

@app.route('/viewproj/<proj>', methods=['GET','POST'])
def viewproj(proj):

...

Template Excerpt:

{% for project in projects %}
  <li>
<a href="{{ url_for('viewproj', proj=project.project_name) }}">
{{project.project_name}}</a></li>
{% else %}
No projects
{% endfor %}

Error log: https://gist.github.com/1684250

EDIT: Also wanted to include that it's not recognizing the variable "proj" when building the URL, so it's just appending the value as a parameter. Here's an example: //myproject/viewproj?projname=what+up
