Deploying Flask application on Google App Engine
This is my first web app I've ever developed, so even though I thoroughly searched everything I could for the Google App Engine, I'm afraid that my terminology and Google fu simply isn't good enough for what I need.
When I open up my terminal and type "python main.py", I can see that it works correctly on localhost.
Now I am trying to host this application on the Google App Engine. I have spent hours watching Youtube tutorials and following setup guides, trying to emulate their file structure and file contents. Whenever I deploy my app, I get the "500- Server Error: The server encountered an error and could not complete your request."
Here is my code: https://github.com/csherrod5/csherrod5.github.io
Here is an example of the types of guides I've been following: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-build-a-web-app-using-pythons-flask-and-google-app-engine-52b1bb82b221
I'm hoping someone is kind enough to help me diagnose my problem.
Thank you to everyone who stops by

App engine has good logging. If you go to the app engine console -> logging you should be able to see the stacktrace which will tell you why it's crashing.

Pro-tip: change your secret keys immediately since it appears you uploaded them. In the future, I'd suggest keeping them in a configuration file that doesn't go up with your source control and gets loaded at runtime

@MarkMeyer Can you elaborate on this? I am on Google Cloud's Logging Page, I selected my project, but it just gives me an infinite loading circle

There's no lib folder in your application directory, so App Engine won't have any of the third party libraries you're trying to import.
You've correctly added the appengine_config.py file needed to vendorise third-party libraries, but you need to add the libraries you want to use to a 'lib' folder in your application directory.
Some of the libraries you want to use are built into the runtime, you just have to add them to your app.yaml to use them.
