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)
