<p class="MsoNormal">I must say, using Flask does avoid introducing yet another language into the mix (we are already using C for communication to the DE, and GNUradio is Python based, mostly). High throughput is not needed for the web part, as the fast stuff
will be done in C (I have a first version of this already running).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A brief overview of Flask suggests that it is promising for this application… any other thoughts? What do you think, Dave? Are there other strong candidates to consider?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Flask is a very popular Python web framework that wouldn't take long for even novice Python users to get acclimated to it.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">If you need higher throughput, Tornado is another great framework. It is an open source project of Facebook with a noticeable upside of asynchronous execution via asyncio for potential performance gains depending on what we're doing in
the Local Host server.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">There are other frameworks around but I'm willing to bet that enough people on the project have some level of Python experience and would be able to jump right in.<o:p></o:p></p>
