Why isn't my Python code (using Flask) properly authenticating the user?

from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for

app = Flask(name) a = True

@app.route("/") def home(): return "Hello! This is the main page!"

@app.route("/<name>") def user(name): return f"Hello {name}!"

@app.route("/admin") def admin(): if a: return redirect(url_for("user", name="Admin!")) else: return redirect(url_for("home"))

if name == "main": app.run(debug=True)
