in the video you moved the "with DATABASE.transaction" to the models.py. Why did you keep it in the app.py?

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking about. Can you give me a bit more detail?

Kenneth Love In the Streaming Templates video you moved "with DATABASE.transaction" to the models.py. Why didn't keep it in the app.py?

Sorry for the confusion.

Ah. Well since that transaction should happen for creating the models/user(s) every time that work is being done, it makes more sense to put it into function so it'll happen every time.

If we only had it in app.py, we're only protecting that one use of the function.
