Import request from Flask. Then update the index view to return "Hello {name}", replacing {name} with a name argument in the query string.
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def index():
return 'Treehouse'

The first thing you need to do is import request "from flask import request". The second step is you have to get a name from the query string:
@app.route("/<name>")
To capture this you will need to add the name parameter to the function, such as:
def index(name):
Then you can reference name in the function like normal.
return "Hello {}".format(name)
