This is a simple CRUD-type messaging app built with Flask (with Bootstrap for styling and responsiveness). It also features a REST API.

flask-messenger works with Python 3.x, which you really should be using at this point. It may still work with Python 2.x, but caveat emptor.

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install the pre-requisites. Using a virtualenv is preferred. To setup a virtualenv and install dependencies via Pip:

python3 -m venv ./env
. env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

python messenger.py

python messenger_tester.py

coverage run --omit=env/*  messenger_tester.py
coverage html

For the time being, the REST API doesn't use authentication. Also, the POST views are not yet protected against CSRF attacks.
