title: How to obtain values of request variables using Python and Flask
body: <p>I'm wondering how to go about obtaining the value of a POST/GET request variable using Python with Flask.</p>
  
  <p>With Ruby, I'd do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>variable_name = params["FormFieldValue"]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How would I do this with Flask?</p>
