create_app
from flask import Flask

def create_app(config=None):
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.config.update(config or {})
    register_blueprints(app)
    register_other_things(app)
    return app
register_blueprints
from werkzeug.utils import find_modules, import_string

def register_blueprints(app):
    for name in find_modules('myapp.blueprints'):
        mod = import_string(name)
        if hasattr(mod, 'blueprint'):
            app.register_blueprint(mod.blueprint)
Optional Contained App

The idea here is you can separate top level config and functionality that is clearly separated from internal flask related config and functionality. I.e. in the flask app this object is exposed as an attribute on the app, and visa versa.

python flask
