Update to Python instead of CSS.

what does this do?

It will change the language displayed when viewing the repo. As we know this a Flask project so the correct language is Python but instead of Python it displays the language to be CSS because GitHub uses a program called linguist to detect the languages and amount (bytes) of code in each language and then chooses the language with most bytes of code. So this file tells linguist to ignore code written in HTML or CSS when calculating code so Python gets to be displayed as the major language of the repo.

I see. I didn't know you could do that. Cool!
