Redirecting to URL in Flask

I'm new to Python and Flask and I'm trying to do the equivalent of Response.redirect as in C# - ie: redirect to a specific URL - how do I go about this?

Here is my code:

import os
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

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

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Bind to PORT if defined, otherwise default to 5000.
    port = int(os.environ.get('PORT', 5000))
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)

You have to return a redirect:

import os
from flask import Flask,redirect

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello():
    return redirect("http://www.example.com", code=302)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Bind to PORT if defined, otherwise default to 5000.
    port = int(os.environ.get('PORT', 5000))
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)

See the documentation on flask docs. The default value for code is 302 so code=302 can be omitted or replaced by other redirect code (one in 301, 302, 303, 305, and 307).

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import os
from flask import Flask, redirect, url_for

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def hello():
    return redirect(url_for('foo'))

@app.route('/foo')
def foo():
    return 'Hello Foo!'

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # Bind to PORT if defined, otherwise default to 5000.
    port = int(os.environ.get('PORT', 5000))
    app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=port)

Take a look at the example in the documentation.
