A Flask app for Costa Rican market data that was never written
Costa Rican market data as a Flask app.
The idea does not survive contact with the repo. There is 190 bytes of Python here, no market data in any of it, and one of the three routes returns “Hello, World!”.
What exists is the standard Flask package layout: app/__init__.py creates the
app and imports app.routes at the bottom of the file, and routes.py imports
app back. That trailing import is load-bearing rather than a style quirk, it
works because by the last line of __init__.py the app object exists, and
moving it to the top fails. Every Flask tutorial has that line and almost none
explain it, which is why people copy it and have no model for what broke when
they reorganise. The application factory is the version that removes the cycle
instead of sequencing around it.
Scaffolded and abandoned the same day.
Started, not pursued.
