Naming conventions: regarding statement from flask import request

According to python naming conventions every class name must starts with uppercase but in the case of "request" and "render_template"

line: from flask import request line: from flask import render_template

starts with lower what is the difference between other import and this above two statements or it holds any special meaning with above two statements.

Thank you..

Great question!

Actually, request and render_template aren't classes. They are functions that are part of flask, so they aren't capitalized.

I hope you understand now :)

Good luck! ~alex
