Run code after flask application has started

Question

My goal is to get arbitrary code to run after my Flask application is started. Here is what I\'ve got:

def run():
    from webapp import app
    app.run(debu         


        

Answer 1

I just did (in a main.py executed with python main.py):

with app.app_context():
    from module import some_code
    some_code()

def run():
    from webapp import app
    app.run(debug=True, use_reloader=False)

This worked for me without the more comprehensive answers offered above. In my case some_code() is initializing a cache via flask_caching.Cache.

But it probably depends on what exactly some_code is doing...
