A minimal micro blogging server written with Flask

Primary LanguagePython

LiBlogger

An on-going project to provide a simple blogging web application. LiBlogger written using Python and Flask, and is based off of miguel grinberg's mega tutorial series here.

Warning

LiBlogger is my first attempt at writing a web application in Flask and Python, it is highly recommened you do not use my code as a guideline for writing other websites. I am far from an expert in this area, Liblogger is designed as a learning tool for myself that I can continusouly add features to.

Installation

simply run setup.py to have the script automaticall create a virtual enviroment for development. You must have these packages installed however:

  • Python 2.7
  • Python development package (python-dev for most Linux distributions)
  • git

The sqlite database must also be created before the application can run, and the db_create.py script takes care of that. Running

To run the application in the development web server just execute run.py with the Python interpreter from the flask virtual environment.
