Flask has a lot of benefits
Flask is a micro web framework written in Python. It is classified as a microframework because it does not require particular tools or libraries.
- Flexible and Easy.: This means that almost all the parts of flask are open to change, unlike some other web frameworks. Flask comes with a template engine that lets you use the same user interface for multiple pages. Python can insert variables into the templates.
- Easy to use and Extend: The idea behind Flask is to build a solid foundation for web applications of different complexity. From then on you are free to plug in any extensions you think you need. Also you are free to build your own modules.
- Testing: Using Flask for web development allows for unit testing through its integrated support, built-in development server, fast debugger, and restful request dispatching. It is lightweight to enable you to transit into a web framework easily with some extension.
Many http clients exists in Python in order to communicate with a Strapi API: http.client or requests
