~ What is Flask?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Flask is a microframework for Python based on Werkzeug
|
|
|
|
|
and Jinja2. It's intended for getting started very quickly
|
|
|
|
|
and was developed with best intentions in mind.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~ Is it ready?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's still not 1.0 but it's shaping up nicely and is
|
|
|
|
|
already widely used. Consider the API to slightly
|
|
|
|
|
improve over time but we don't plan on breaking it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~ What do I need?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jinja 2.4 and Werkzeug 0.7 or later.
|
|
|
|
|
`pip` or `easy_install` will install them for you if you do
|
|
|
|
|
`pip install Flask`. I encourage you to use a virtualenv.
|
|
|
|
|
Check the docs for complete installation and usage
|
|
|
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~ Where are the docs?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Go to http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/ for a prebuilt version
|
|
|
|
|
of the current documentation. Otherwise build them yourself
|
|
|
|
|
from the sphinx sources in the docs folder.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~ Where are the tests?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Good that you're asking. The tests are in the
|
|
|
|
|
flask/testsuite package. To run the tests use the
|
|
|
|
|
`run-tests.py` file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ python run-tests.py
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If it's not enough output for you, you can use the
|
|
|
|
|
`--verbose` flag:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ python run-tests.py --verbose
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you just want one particular testcase to run you can
|
|
|
|
|
provide it on the command line:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ python run-tests.py test_to_run
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
~ Where can I get help?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Either use the #pocoo IRC channel on irc.freenode.net or
|
|
|
|
|
ask on the mailinglist: http://flask.pocoo.org/mailinglist/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
See http://flask.pocoo.org/community/ for more resources.
