So what did that code do?
1. First we imported the :class:`~flask.Flask` class. An instance of this
class will be our WSGI application. The first argument is the name of
the application's module. If you are using a single module (as in this
example), you should use `__name__` because depending on if it's started as
application or imported as module the name will be different (``'__main__'``
versus the actual import name). For more information, have a look at the
:class:`~flask.Flask` documentation.

or package. This is needed so that Flask knows where to look for templates,
static files, and so on.
