Flask (web framework)
Flask is a web microframework written in python and based on the Werkzeug WSGI toolkit and Jinja2 template engine. It is BSD licensed.
History
Flask has been created by Armin Ronacher. "It came out of an April Fool's joke but proved popular enough to make into a serious application in its own right." [1] Flask is inspired by Sinatra, and the name is inspired perhaps by the Bottle microframework.
