Using TxWatcher within Flask
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can start TxWatcher in a separate thread and have it running within your Flask app (or any Python web framework).

.. code-block:: python

from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
return "Hello World!"

if __name__ == "__main__":
# First, start TxWatcher
tw = TxWatcher([a['address'] for a in col_urls.find()])
tw.on_tx += new_tx

thread.start_new_thread(tw.run_forever, ())

# Then, start the Flask app
app.run()
