Creating a Python web application
We are going to create a sample web application with Python. For that purpose, Flask will be used as a web application framework for Python.
Flask is a web application framework that is written with Python. It has the required libraries to start implementing web applications as a beginner. In the following code block, you can see a sample "Hello, World!" web application with Flask:
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello_world():
return 'Hello, World!'
The code imports the Flask library and runs the application on localhost port 5000. When you run it, you will see "Hello World!" in the browser.
You can also check the Flask framework at the following website: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.2.x/.
As the next step, we are going to deploy a Python web application to Elastic Beanstalk.
