Also the second important module used in sqlite that handles the sqlite database opeartions. Also apart from flask,sqlite and their helper methods, we are also using email, smtplib and ssl modules for sending password reset and email confirmation emails, opencv, numpy and pillow modules for processing images of uploaded books/ materials, instamojo_wrapper for handling the instamojo payment gateway integrated in our website.
