WIP: Initialize Flask app

[btylerburton]

User Story

In order to create a solid foundation for the Harvesting 2.0 application, Data.gov would like to employ Flask as the application framework.

Acceptance Criteria

[ACs should be clearly demoable/verifiable whenever possible. Try specifying them using BDD.]

• GIVEN data.gov would like to build a Harvesting 2.0 application
  THEN we would like to initialize it as a Flask application

Background

Flask is a useful and extensible framework to undergird Data.gov's Harvsting 2.0 redesign. Flask supports rendering of raw API routes, along with serving HTML via Blueprints for our eventual Harvesting UI.

Security Considerations (required)

Flask will allow us employ industry standard authentication and authorization technologies to ensure only those with adequate permissions will be able to access the application and a specific route.

Sketch

For this first step, we will focus only on initialization

• Add Flask as an application dependency
• Initialize the Flask application as part of the application start routine
