Flask-Bcrypt - AttributeError: 'module' ob

I have a Flask application which has been deployed to Ubuntu instances as well as working correctly in my local virtualenv. The issue lies with Flask-Bcrypt, which extends Bcrypt. When I deploy to AWS Beanstalk I receive the follow error:

File "/opt/python/current/app/application.py", line 391, in user_login
if bc.check_password_hash(user.password, password):
File "/opt/python/run/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/flask_bcrypt.py", line 193, in check_password_hash
return safe_str_cmp(bcrypt.hashpw(password, pw_hash), pw_hash)
File "/opt/python/run/venv/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bcrypt/__init__.py", line 82, in hashpw
hashed = _bcrypt.ffi.new("char[]", 128)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'ffi'

Looking at the Bcrypt source code I can see that FFI is imported from cffi:

from cffi import FFI

As you can see from my pip output below, cffi==1.9.1 is installed. However, if I run which cffi I can see:

no cffi in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/aws/bin:/home/ec2-user/.local/bin:/home/ec2-user/bin)

System info: 64bit Amazon Linux 2016.09 v2.3.0 running Python 2.7

These packages are installed on eb deploy:

packages:
   yum:
      gcc-c++: []
      python27-devel: []
      gcc: []
      libffi-devel : []
      openssl-devel: []

I have seen this issue here which suggests a package conflict. However, I do not have py-bcrypt installed.

pip freeze returns this following:

Any help greatly appreciated.

It seems as though there is a conflict between bcrypt, py-bcrypt, and Flask-Bcrypt.

I had this same issue, so I pip uninstalled all of them. Then re-installed only bcrypt since I didn't need Flask-Bcrypt.

This resolved the error.
