routes.py module
----------------

This Python module contains the logic supporting:
1. Navigating between website pages
2. Interpreting user requests to the server
3. Dispatching requested content back to the user

Python dependencies:
- flask: provides web application features
- forms: provides secure form user submission
- sqlalchemy: provides communication with database on server.

Personal imports:
These are used to avoid cluttering this file with
placeholder data for posts' content.

# the Python interpreter will run the Flask process and begin serving
# the web pages on the standard localhost address (127.0.0.1).
# But if this file is called as a module by another Python script, it will not
# serve content to the web pages, but the function definitions contained in
# this file will be available to the calling script.
# E.g. calling script will know what the yes() function is.
