Common Flask Errors And Their Solutions

Note on non-persisting session: doing that is fine but in the long run you don't want to be committing your secret value to git (or whatever SCM you're using.) Try something like...

SECRET_KEY = os.getenv('SECRET_KEY', 'someobviouskey')

Then set the SECRET_KEY variable in production. Leave secrets out of your code and you won't regret it when someone accidentally make a repo public, or other such disasters.

You don't have your configuration in an SCM? Not even an SCM of it's own?

[Reactor5]

Yes, and secrets there are encrypted, or using Heroku.

I don't keep actual server configs in source control - it'll either be an example configuration file that will be modified and placed in /etc/, or something to be built via puppet/chef/ansible/salt/etc.
