Weeknotes: 2 December to 6 December 2024

What I have found gripping

• Diversifying one’s sources of learning is wonderful

• WSGI is an acronym for Web Server Gateway Interface

• This line of code in Python will initialize a Flask web app

  app = Flask(__name__)
  

• The Flask class handles all the web requests, routing and responses

• The Pylint error message Missing function or method docstring means that a docstring (short for a document string) needs to be added to the function. Once a docstring is included, the error disappears. See the example below:

  def print_python_version():
      """Function printing python version."""
      print(sys.version)
