First Flask application
In this section of the tutorial, we will build our first python website built using the Flask framework.
In this process, open any text editor of your choice as we are using the sublime text editor in this
tutorial.
Write the following lines of code and save to a file named as app.py.
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/home') # decorator defines a route


def home(): # each route has a function … recall def
return 'Our first Flask website'

if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)

Run the application, you get below on the python console,


* Serving Flask app "app" (lazy loading)
* Environment: production
