A More Complete Example
import os
from flask import Flask
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader
from random import randint
# Start the Flask application
app = Flask(__name__)
# Define the template directory
tpldir = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))+'/templates/'
# Setup the template enviroment
env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader(tpldir), trim_blocks=True)
# Define a route for the webserver
@app.route('/')
def index():
# define a random skill level
skill_level = randint(0,100)
# generate template and assign variables
output = env.get_template('example.html').render(
skill_level=skill_level
)
# return the output
return output
# Listen to port 80
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(
host="0.0.0.0",
port=int("80")
)

Zip
you need zip() but it isn't defined in jinja2 templates.
one solution is zipping it before render_template function is called, like:
view function:
return render_template('form_result.html',type=type,reqIDs_msgs_rcs=zip(IDs,msgs,rcs))
template:
{% for reqID,msg,rc in reqIDs_msgs_rcs %}
<h1>ID - {{ID}}</h1>
{% if rc %}
<h1>Status - {{msg}}!</h1>
{% else %}
<h1> Failed </h1>
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
also, you can add zip to jinja2 template global, using Flask.add_template_x functions(or Flask.template_x decorators)
@app.template_global(name='zip')
def _zip(*args, **kwargs): #to not overwrite builtin zip in globals
return __builtins__.zip(*args, **kwargs)
