Python [Flask] How to programmatically terminate a Flask app ?

[guys]

Hello

I have a flask app that should run once and then be destroyed. It should be deployed, show the user a parameters form, accept the parameters, do some calculations and then return a PDF report and exit. If the user wants another report they will deploy the app again.

So basically I need a route that will run some functions, return the PDF file and exit the whole app.
Creating and returning the report works just fine but is there a way to kill the server internally ? Something like "exit(0)" ? And if yes then where in the code shoulr I put it ?

Thank you

Guy

I don't think you understand how flask works. Flask runs on a web server such as apache or nginx. You should do a little reseach.
If all you want is to create a pdf and returning/save it, you should look at gui's such as tkinter, pyside, wxpython or one of the others.
