web development, one drop at a time

~ 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.
