Flask Framework Cookbook - Second Edition

How it works...

In the preceding script, most of the configuration is self-explanatory. The classifiers are used when the application is made available on PyPI. These will help other users search the application using the relevant classifiers.

Now, we can run this file with the install keyword, as follows:

$ python setup.py install

The preceding command will install the application along with all the dependencies mentioned in install_requires, that is, Flask and all of Flask's dependencies. Now the app can be used just like any Python package in a Python environment.
