On the hinge side, when the door is closed no light should come through anyway so don't worry about it, but check to make sure.
I flight shows through, you can attach a baffle made of strips of something flexible and lightproof, such as a couple layers of black plastic.
yeah, I weather strip the frame with varying thickness. The door takes a little tug to close, but it pretty much fully seals it from the outside environment. Light cant get in, but you can still see a tiny bit of light from the outside. I then use some flexible plastic stripping that will cover the crack between the door and the jam when its closed. For the hinge side, I just play some black plastic along the edge.
