Currently, your folder structure should look like this:

webapp/
  config.py
  database.db
  main.py
  manage.py
  env/
  migrations/
    versions/
  static/
    css/
    js/
  templates/
    blog/

To convert our code to a module, our files will be converted to this folder structure:

webapp/
  manage.py
  database.db
  webapp/
    __init__.py
    config.py
    forms.py
    models.py
    controllers/
      __init__.py
      blog.py
    static/
      css/
      js/
    templates/
      blog/
  migrations/
    versions/

Next move main.py and config.py&...
