How do I handle CORS in a Python web application?

To handle CORS in a Python web application, you can use the Flask-CORS extension if you're using Flask.

Can you show me a code example using Flask-CORS?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from flask import Flask
from flask_cors import CORS

app = Flask(__name__)
CORS(app)

@app.route('/api/data')
def get_data():
    return {'data': 'This is some data'}

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run()

What if I'm using Django instead of Flask?

For Django, you can use the django-cors-headers package. Install it and add it to your INSTALLED_APPS and middleware.

Are there any security concerns I should be aware of?

Yes, be cautious with CORS settings. Allow only trusted origins to prevent unauthorized access to your API.
