Making a Flask app installable using setuptools
We now have a Flask app, but how do we install it like any Python package? It is possible that another application might depend on our application, or that our application is in fact an extension for Flask and would need to be installed in a Python environment so it can be used by other applications. In this recipe, we will see how setuptools can be used to create an installable Python package.
