Another nice thing about Flask is that you can run it standalone without 
Apache. I'm knocking something together right now using Flask, and I'm 
intending to run it without Apache at all. There'll be an haproxy in front of 
it for other reasons, but to get off the ground you don't even need that.

If you take something apart and put it back together again enough times, you
will eventually have enough parts left over to build a second one.
