Will be Workspace here at Treehouse enough to build a web app in Flask?

I was wondering whether to post it to General Discussion or to Python section. I decided to put it here.

I've got kind of trouble with setting up local Python environment and I'm confused a bit in how to install right IDE and then develop apps in Flask. I watched Kenneth's coursers (they are great), but this is more about me.

I want to build simple web app in Flask. Python and Flask development is great in workspaces here at Treehouse, so my question is whether it's possible to build that app here. When I'm done with development, I'll just download the files and upload it to server.

I'm not gonna build something big so I don't need some extended functions that IDEs provides.

What do you think?

It's enough to build a basic web app for development/test purposes, but to deploy a fully-functional web app to a web server, you normally have to take other things into consideration (like performance, security, etc).

Check out the Deployment Options page and the Deploying to a Web Server section of the Flask Quickstart in the Flask documentation.
