[Flask] SDLC configuration

[Guy Matz]

Thanks!   Yeah, that works when I remove the references to self, but I
don't like the idea of having to repeat that code in the definition for
each environment . . .  would be nice to have that in the super-class
(Config), but that doesn't seem to work . . .

I still don't really understand what kind of class Config is, that doesn't
use self or have the usual dunder-score methods . . .
