So it's not declining, just working well. Personnally I've used Flask
commercially and for my own web site.

Subject: [Flask] A Question. app.py structure
Message-ID: <CAEncD4fVoVjTifPw5cK1suUfEtpXWJy-JxQq8VFxsQf2PdE59A@mail.gmail.com>

I've 'played' with flask long enough to use it seriously.

Scenario: Book keeping, html user interface, mariadb mysql, flask + jinja code

I've working forms, database entry, read from db etc.

Now looking at structure?
It would appear that app.py (whatever you use) needs to contain or
import most of the code?

Are there any lessons to be learned for this structure and how it
interacts with templates/x.html

E.g. Show x.html to user, return x, test x, show templates/y.html
Should I be thinking of structuring app.py as any other app or...
It would seem app.py cannot (am I wrong) be a class,
just call up imported classes as needed?

Any advice in this area please.

TiA

Subject: [Flask] Printing on formatted paper?
Message-ID: <CAK_UXh3rS6BFDTDYrz3QZZs_kUdSbYm3rTXO3HfWHr1+EB1UDQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I created a very simple inventory system for my company using Flask.

One of the functions in my system allows users to print out a list of
inventory. Kind of cheating - I just create a CSV file, and tell the user
to download it and use Excel to print.

I wonder, however, if there is a way to do "nice" printing. For example,
like on a formatted sheet of paper (e.g. invoices). Can you actually
manipulate printing at the Python / Flask level?

Thanks!

HTML->Word->printer?

Hey, I think the easiest way is probably to create a route that contains the information you want in a nicely formated HTML and then let the browser convert that to a PDF. You could also use your normal route (e.g. your standart invoices route) and provide some additional CSS to format it nicely for printing. Maybe this rather old blog post helps you getting started: https://drublic.de/blog/printing-the-web

Greetings
