[Tutor] Environment variables and Flask

2019-06-27 Thread Mayo Adams
I have for some time been flummoxed as to the significance of setting
environment variables, for example in order to run a Flask application.
What are these environment variables, exactly, and why is it necessary to
set them? "Googling" here simply leads me into more arcana, and doesn't
really help.

Yes, that's easy enough. Python supports access to many databases,
do you have one in mind? If not the SQLite module that comes in
the standard library is probably more than adequate for your needs.
PHP has modules for reading SQLite too.

If you are familiar with using databases in any other language the
Python DBAPI should be easy to pick up.

If you don;t know SQL then you might like the database topic in
my tutorial(see below)

See the "sqlite3" module with ships with Python. It creates a database 
in a local file and provides an SQL interface:


 https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#module-sqlite3

SQLite3 also has a command line tool for interactive access to the 
database; you might need to install that separately.


For the web side you'd need an SQLite library for PHP, but I cannot 
believe that one does not exist. (Or you could also write your web 
application in Python instead of PHP.)

There doesn't seem to be a question here.

Does this help in any way?
