yes, and there were no django based apps in ports... system packages are fine until all software runs on the same pinned flask version. this is of course a python issue and every system has to deal with it. the current setup works basically as a matter of luck. whoever will want to have multiple applications on one machine sooner or later will have to switch to venv's, maybe not even because of flask, but something different. i dont mean to dismiss the work being done here, just as a python developer i recommend everyone to use venvs everywhere. i am not sure it's a system packager's job to provide packages for web apps that normally have other requirements as well (web server, etc). i'll shut up now. -f --
