I’m wondering how to go about obtaining the value of a POST/GET request variable using Python with Flask.

With Ruby, I’d do something like this:

variable_name = params["FormFieldValue"]

How would I do this with Flask?

You can get posted form data from request.form and query string data from request.args.

myvar =  request.form["myvar"]

myvar = request.args["myvar"]
