Project Description<\/h2>\n

Story<\/strong>: Assume you work in the IT Department of Right-On Realtors. <\/p>\n

Your boss asks you to create a simple website the Realtors can query to view current Home Sales.<\/p>\n

He would like this website created using the\u00a0Flask<\/a>\u00a0framework in Python.<\/p>\n

In this article, we’ll create a simple website app to query real estate stats from a CSV on the server that looks like this:<\/p>\n

What is Flask?<\/h2>\n

Flask<\/a> is a web app framework created with ease of use in mind. Without much training, you can easily create a simple web application. Flask<\/a> works with Bootstrap<\/a>, HTML<\/a>, CSS<\/a>, and Jinja <\/a>(to name a few) to create a website.<\/p>\n

Step 1: Set Up a Virtual Environment<\/h2>\n

All your projects share the same globally installed libraries. But some of them may require different versions or incompatible libraries. <\/p>\n

This is where virtual environments come into play. <\/p>\n

A virtual environment serves as a \u201csandbox\u201d for your Python program. <\/strong>You can install any external library or version there without having any global impact. <\/p>\n

The virtual environments are isolated, independent, and separate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 2: Install Libraries<\/h2>\n

Before our code executes successfully, two (2) new libraries will require installation.<\/p>\n
