title: Using Flask web app as Windows application
body: <p>We have a web application developed using Flask that runs on a Windows server with clients that connect to it.  We now have a use case where it is desired that the server and client be combined onto a laptop so that both server and client code run together and make it appear as a native Windows application.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, we now have two requirements that we did not have before:
  1. Must be able to launch the browser from within Python.
  2. Must be able to terminate the Python (Flask) application on browser window close.</p>
  
  <p>We have succeeded in item 1.  Item 2 remains elusive.  We have tried terminating the werkzeug server but the Python code keeps running.  Seeking help from those that know.</p>
