[Flask] load different templates for mobile website

[Ares Ou]

>From the information you have provided, I guess you could just
write a function receiving path string to return the path for any template
you want to include. By request.MOBILE, this function can determine
to return whether mobile or desktop template path for that particular
template. For example:

import os
> from flask import request, app
> def assemble_template_path(path):
>     if request.MOBILE:
>         return os.path.join(app.config['MOBILE_TEMPLATE_PREFIX'], path)
>     else:
>         # Do not append anything if it's on desktop
>         return path
