How do we import and use something like flask

Attempting to replicate this snippet of Flask/Python code in Mojo:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello_world():
    return "<p>Hello, World!</p>"

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello_world():
    return "<p>Hello, World!</p>"

But I'm unsure how we replicate this in Mojo with the decorators and top level functions like this? Is it possible yet?

I'm afraid at this moment, your options are unsurprisingly limited; but they may get you as far as you need depending on your project: A. If you're looking to import a python package without converting it to mojo, you can just call Python.import_module() with the module name:

from python import Python

# This is equivalent to Python's import numpy as np
let np = Python.import_module("numpy")

# Now use numpy as if writing in Python
array = np.array([1, 2, 3])
print(array)

from python import Python

# This is equivalent to Python's import numpy as np
let np = Python.import_module("numpy")

# Now use numpy as if writing in Python
array = np.array([1, 2, 3])
print(array)

Source: https://docs.modular.com/mojo/programming-manual.html#importing-python-modules B. If you want to convert a Python library to Mojo, a promising side project was started just 5 days ago by one of the developers that automates this process by converting Python 3.10 to Mojo. Since it's very new, you'll probably need to debug afterwards; but I would imagine the performance gains would be monumental. A link to that project can be found here: https://github.com/msaelices/py2mojo Keep in mind that you'll need to convert all of the dependencies too, so it might not even be worth it for projects like Flask. With that being said, I hope this at least answered some questions. Let me know how it goes.
