"""
Using 'app' instead of 'flaskApp' results in some confusion later on. It turns out that app.config
refers to the config object above (e.g. app.config.DEBUG) whereas app should refer to the app object
in which case it would be app.config['DEBUG'].

The solution is to change the name of this module to flaskapp and change config to configObj
