HelioHost Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 HelioHost now supports the flask web framework on Tommy and Ricky. Flask is based on the Werkzeug toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. Applications that use the Flask framework include Pinterest, LinkedIn, and more. Flask is called a micro framework because it does not require particular tools or libraries. It has no database abstraction layer, form validation, or any other components where pre-existing third-party libraries provide common functions. However, Flask supports extensions that can add application features as if they were implemented in Flask itself. Extensions exist for object-relational mappers, form validation, upload handling, various open authentication technologies and several common framework related tools. This new feature is brand new, and still being tested. If you want to help us test it out create an account on Tommy or Ricky and check out our quick guide to getting a flask page up and running http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/27822-how-do-i-use-flask-on-johnny/?p=128919
