from flask import Flask
from flask import request

import time

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def hello_world():
    d = json.loads(request.data)

Thanks for this code! I was wondering about the same thing. I inserted a time.sleep(random()*5) in the server's hello_world for good measure. Good to know Requests sessions are greenlet-safe.
