										Flask
								-------------------------
								
	
	we call the flask  script as app.py
	set up a virtualenv using the virtualenv packages it is better for the different projects
	app gets all the requests and these are processed and figures out the response (particular function) MVC 
	
	'@'  decorator function which wraps around another function.
	@map.route should be above the function that it direct to
	rendered template use the template rendering (send back html)
		use the """ to hold onto line breaks inside the """ we can write the html
		
	but the fastest and cleanest way is to use the render_template and create a folder named "template" and use the render_template(file name) 
		flask automaticly look for the templates folder to add the template
		flask uses ginja 2 which are used for rendering and in that we use "{{ " for printing the variables and we have to pass the variables to the views
		
	In the python Flask we can use the template inheritance to use the same code as a block use the {%block block_name%} {%endblock%} 
	
	ADDIng the CSS
	
	static files are included in the folder static (css and scripts)
	
	
	Adding the forms
	----------------
		
		pdb means that python debugger and it can be used to get all the requests for example for the form request.form
		
	COOKIES
	------------
	To use the cookies we have to import the json package
	in java script the cookies are seted after the response
	some times we have to fake the response using the make_response package and use it to set the cookie
	
	redirect means it will redirect to the @app.route() where the function name is under
			for example if the function name is index and the call is redirect(url_for(index)) it will check the route for the page
	
	
	dont use the {{}} in the html comments it will cause templatesyntax error
	
	
	
	
	Flash Messages
	---------------------
		To sending messages to the user using the module flash in flask.flash uses  secret key for encrypting the message.
		Important is that flash messages only persist untill the next section that is when we refresh it it will disappear and only appear after the submition of the field
		
		
		
		
		TUTS PLUS ______________   STATIC BLOG
		------------------------------------------

for this we use the pyyaml package for this 
all python classes have an internal __dict__ which include all the information on the file
when adding the metadta  as dict remember to add space or it will result in a value error

	Regestring the format date function as a jinja filter. using the jinja_env.filter.
	remember that the filters are represented by the '|' like the safe html
	
	Another method is using the @app.template_filter(name of the filter)
	 we can pass the custom format for the date or the filters as using the (and the values)
