What's the SECRET_KEY option in defaults.py #99

In line 5 of defaults.py there is the option SECRET_KEY with the value set to this-really-needs-to-be-changed. I could not find it being used anywhere in the repository although it looks important. What is this option good for?

Its the encryption key for flask sessions

I'll add a comment to the defaults.py
