<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>
{{my_string}}
</body>
</html>
Open the file run.py and put in the following contents.
from flask import Flask, render_template
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def template_test():
return render_template('template.html', my_string="Wheeeee!", my_list=[0,1,2,3,4,5])
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
Now you can run your webapp using python run.py and the output will appear with your local host http://localhost:5000
