Flask's Application object has an extensions mapping that can be used to store utilities such as connectors. In our case, we want to store a Session object. We can create a function that will initialize a placeholder in the app.extensions mapping and add a Session object in it:
from requests import Session def setup_connector(app, name='default', **options): if not hasattr(app, 'extensions'): app.extensions = {} if 'connectors' not in app.extensions: app.extensions['connectors'] = {} session = Session() if 'auth' in options: session.auth = options['auth'] headers = options.get('headers', {}) if 'Content-Type' not in headers: headers['Content-Type'] = 'application/json' session.headers.update(headers) ...
