The Template format

"python": {
  "flask": {
      "templates/": "dir",
      "static/": "dir",
      "app.py": "from flask import Flask\napp = Flask(__name__)\n@app.route('/')\ndef index():\n\treturn 'Hello World!'\nif __name__ == '__main__':\n\tapp.run(debug=True)"
  },

Use the Key as the file/folder name.

Use dir (lowercase) as a value for folders, else, a file with that content will be created.

Use \nfor New Lines in code and \t for Tabs.

Note: Template (Language and Type) Names should always be lowercase. Else it might not work!
