Object Oriented Python with Flask Server?

Question

I\'m using Flask to expose some data-crunching code as a web service. I\'d like to have some class variables that my Flask functions can access.

Let me walk you through

Answer 1

if you wish to approach MyServer class as a resource
I believe that flask_restful can help you:

from flask import Flask
from flask_restful import Resource, Api
import json
import numpy as np

app = Flask(__name__)
api = Api(app)

class MyServer(Resource):
    def __init__(self):
        self.globalData = json.load(filename)

    def get(self):
        return np.random.choice(self.globalData)

api.add_resource(MyServer, '/')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()
