I am planning a small, simple website to showcase myself as an engineer. My preferred language is Python and I hope to use it to create my website. My pages will be mostly static, with some database stored posts/links. The site will be simple, but I would like to have freedom in how it operates. I plan on using CSS/JS for the design, so...
I am looking for a comparison of django and flask for a project that will live for a long time, and will need to be maintained, built upon and grow as the months progress. I am considering Flask + SQLAlchemy or django. I do not need batteries, as I usually end up having to modify them, so it is fine if I have to re-implement a couple o...
[updated below] I have a bit of a problem deploying a site on apache with mod_wsgi with some javascript bookmarklet functionality; alpha site is up and usable here: stemhub.org. The problem is that the bookmarklet (which is a browser menu button) submits to a page like http://stemhub.org/submit/http://the-users-link.com/here which th...
I'm working on a small web application using the Python Flask framework. For a few happy weeks SQLAlchemy was a perfect fit for my needs. In the meantime I found out more about MongoDB, played with it locally and started thinking of using it instead of MySql along with SQLAlchemy. Is this a good idea in terms of: Suitability. The pro...
I'm building an admin for Flask and SQLAlchemy, and I want to pass the html for the different inputs to my view using render_template. The templating framework seems to escape the html automatically, so all <"'> are converted to html entities. How can I disable that so that the html renders correctly? ...

Is there a preferred way to make a Flask application multilingual? Ideally, the solution would enable to @app.route the same view to use different urls for each languages, like @app.route(en='/staff/', fr='/equipe/). I'm pretty confident I could hack something like that together, but an existing library would sure save me some time. Than...
I am using Sqlite3 with Flask microframework, but this question concerns only the Sqlite side of things.. Here is a snippet of the code: g.db.execute('INSERT INTO downloads (name, owner, mimetype) VALUES (?, ?, ?)', [name, owner, mimetype]) file_entry = query_db('SELECT last_insert_rowid()') g.db.commit() The downloads table has anot...

Hi, I have several very large zip files available to download on a website. I am using Flask microframework (based on Werkzeug) which uses Python. Is there a way to show the contents of a zip file (i.e. file and folder names) - to someone on a webpage - without actually downloading it? As in doing the working out server side. Assume t...
I have been toying with this idea for quite awhile now, but haven't seen any information on people doing it. I have a small website project where I need to load and modify 1 object. This object is pretty simple, and shouldn't be more than a few kb. Instead of running a DB for this small amount of data, why not just use pickle and/or shel...

I've been using Django and Django passes in a request object to a view when it's run. It looks like (from first glance) in Flask the application owns the request and it's imported (as if it was a static resource). I don't understand this and I'm just trying to wrap my brain around WSGI and Flask, etc. Any help is appreciated. ...

I need to get the ip address of users when they log on (for logging purposes). Does anyone know how to do this? Surely there is a way to do it with Python? I apologize for t...
Hi, I'm making a new website to replace a current one, using Flask micro-framework (based on Werkzeug) which uses Python (2.6 in my case). The core functionality and many pages are the same. However by using Flask many of the previous URLs are different to the old ones. I need a way to somehow store the each of the old URLs and the ne...
