Answer 1

Update

@DarenThomas In my usage, I simply import flask and create routes as usual.

import flask

# ... normal Dash stuff here

@app.server.route('/error.csv')
def serve_error():
    return flask.send_file('error.csv')

For those looking in the future, this answer can be updated to include the Plotly side-project Dash. It comes out of the box with plotly/flask support and was extremely easy to get existing plotly graphs to show up in a web interface. For example:

import dash
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html

app = dash.Dash()

app.layout = html.Div(children=[
    html.H1(children='Hello Dash'),

    html.Div(children='''
        Dash: A web application framework for Python.
    '''),

    dcc.Graph(
        id='example-graph',
        figure={
            'data': [
                {'x': [1, 2, 3], 'y': [4, 1, 2], 'type': 'bar', 'name': 'SF'},
                {'x': [1, 2, 3], 'y': [2, 4, 5], 'type': 'bar', 'name': u'Montréal'},
            ],
            'layout': {
                'title': 'Dash Data Visualization'
            }
        }
    )
])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run_server(debug=True)
