    config.include('.cors')
    
     # make sure to add this before other routes to intercept OPTIONS

This is great @kamalgill. In Python 3.5 I had to change it to config.include('cors') instead of config.include('.cors') for it to work, but it was perfect after that :)

Brilliant, thank you for sharing
