Flask proxy to serve MLB files locally. I have them all stored on disk. Why go to the internet for this?

flask-mlb-proxy.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
from hashlib import sha1
import os
import os.path

from flask import (
    Flask,
    send_from_directory,
)

print("Creating app")
app = Flask(__name__)

print("Getting env var")
MLB_CACHEDIR = os.environ.get(
    "MLB_CACHEDIR",
    os.path.join(os.path.expanduser("~/workspace/mlb"), "cachedir")
)
print(MLB_CACHEDIR)


@app.route('/<path:path>', methods=['GET'])
def index(path):
    remap_path = "http://gd2.mlb.com/" + path
    sha_path = sha1(remap_path).hexdigest()
    print("Getting: {0} | {1}".format(remap_path, sha_path))
    return send_from_directory(MLB_CACHEDIR, sha_path)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    print("Starting app...")
    app.run(debug=True, host='0.0.0.0', port=80)
    print("Ending app")
