Nice gist, but return Response(stream_with_context(stream_template('template.html', rows=rows))) should be added

Exactly what I searched for, thank you.

Thanks! Solved my problem.

Thanks man! Really helped me stream my contents on the website while the processing is being done on the backend!

Note: need to put template.html in a templates directory for Flask to find it.
