A Hundred Days of Code, Day 041

Started to very slowly do the Mega Flask Tutorial. This real world project-cum-tutorial, should let me learn more real-world-esque Python and expand beyond the tiny vocabulary, I have. Setup my environment today and created a baby flask app. Even that had something to teach me.
