Brief background to my decisions

As it is an MVP I used:

I kept the project structure very simple
Flask as its good for prototyping and rapid development
Pandas as its easy to work with and modify data and its fast
Highchart js because I saw this as an opportunity to try it out
Python as it it cross platform, and its what I am comfortable with

With regards to all libraries used:

They must be well documented
Well maintained
Stable and commonly used in production
Decent sized online community

Other considerations

No tests due to time limitations
No database as its serving static data
Not optomised for web deployment as that was not required by the task brief

Thank you!
