[Flask] User specific log files

[Robert Grant]

Hi Kevin

Just a couple of quick questions:

1) Do you have enough users to just log to a database and record a username
with each log line? Just a suggestion to consider.
2) Can you post a minimal, verifiable and complete example of your first
attempt to give people something solid to critique?

Thanks


Rob
