Flask Webcast #2: Request and Application Contexts

Posted by Miguel Grinberg under Programming, Python, Webcast, Flask.

In this live webcast I explain what is the purpose of the request and application contexts in Flask, and why sometimes you get these weird errors about them.

Hi Miguel, Thanks a million for this video, much appreciated! One question: the contexts seem to be looked up via Werkzeug utilities. Is that still true if we serve our app through a different server as eg gunicorn? Thanks for your help and best wishes Felix

@fbu: Yes. The support for the context implementation is in Werkzeug, but it is separate from the Werkzeug web server and works regardless of the web server that you use.
