I'm trying to spin up a single page flask application that allows users to download a word document. I've already figured out how to make/save the document using python-docx, but now I need to make the document available in the response. Any ideas?
Here's what I have so far:
from flask import Flask, render_template
from docx import Document
from cStringIO import StringIO
@app.route('/')
def index():
document = Document()
document.add_heading("Sample Press Release", 0)
f = StringIO()
document.save(f)
length = f.tell()
f.seek(0)
return render_template('index.html')
instead of
render_template('index.html')
you can just:
