how to thread comments

right now I am trying to add replies to my replies without adding a new table and route. does anyone know of any useful documentation that addresses similar problems?.

models.py

class Post(db.Model):      id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)      title = db.Column(db.String(100), nullable=False)      date_posted = db.Column(db.DateTime, nullable=False, default=datetime.utcnow)      content = db.Column(db.Text, nullable=False)      user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'), nullable=False)      replys = db.relationship('Reply', backref='post')      class Reply(db.Model):      id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)      title = db.Column(db.String(100), nullable=False)      date_posted = db.Column(db.DateTime, nullable=False, default=datetime.utcnow)      content = db.Column(db.Text, nullable=False)      user_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('user.id'), nullable=False)      post_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('post.id'))  

routes.py

@app.route("/post/new", methods=['GET', 'POST'])  @login_required  def new_post():      form = PostForm()      if form.validate_on_submit():          post = Post(title=form.title.data, content=form.content.data, author=current_user)          db.session.add(post)          db.session.commit()          flash('New Post Created', 'success')          return redirect(url_for('home'))      return render_template('create_post.html', title='New Post', form=form, legend='New Post')      @app.route("/post/<int:post_id>")  def post(post_id):      reply = Reply.query.filter_by(post_id=post_id).all()      post = Post.query.get_or_404(post_id)      return render_template('post.html', title=post.title, post=post, reply=reply)      @app.route("/post/<int:post_id>/reply", methods=['GET', 'POST'])  @login_required  def new_reply(post_id):      form = ReplyForm()      post = Post.query.get_or_404(post_id)      if form.validate_on_submit():          reply = Reply(title=form.title.data, content=form.content.data, author=current_user, post_id=post_id)          db.session.add(reply)          db.session.commit()          flash('reply posted', 'success')          return redirect(url_for('post', post_id=post.id))      return render_template('Reply.html', title='New Reply', form=form, legend='New Reply')  

The reply route is where I'm trying to add a new function for replying to replies
