I have a problem with flask_login module.
i have installed flask_login module successfully. Also from the command prompt i can run this script easily with no error:
Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 07:43:08) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from flask.ext.login import LoginManager
But when I am running this script:
from flask import Flask
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route("/")
def hello():
return "Hello World! Welcome"
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run()
i am getting the error :
ImportError: No module named flask.ext.login
What is the mistake i am doing. I am very new to this flask. Thanks in advance.
If following does not work:
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager
try the following:
from flask_login import LoginManager
This is the new convention.
To find the flask-login version, you can run the following command in terminal. Just change the name to know the version of other packages.
pip show flask-login
Install pip and then use the following command:
C:\Python27\scripts>pip install Flask-Login
If you have already installed flask-login by
$pip install flask_login
Try replacing the
from flask.ext.login import LoginManager
with
from flask_login import LoginManager
This is an environment error -- whatever IDE you're using doesn't have the PYTHONPATH set properly. You can test this out by creating a small test file: test.py, with the following contents:
from os import environ
print environ.get('PYTHONPATH')
If the PYTHONPATH doesn't contain the directory that holds your Flask-Login package, then that's the issue.
Strange But it worked when I tried to run the script from Command prompt
C:\Users\dib\Desktop>python foo.py
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/
127.0.0.1 - - [11/Feb/2014 18:03:52] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 -
But when I am trying to run from the python default IDE pressing f5
it is not working.
Initially I installed flask_login on virtual environment. I found out that its trying to find on the machine. So I installed it globally as;
mycomp# pip install -U flask_login
That solved the problem.
See For me the simple solution is to just remove .ext from flask.ext.login
and instead just type flask_login
. This works for python 3 and make sure that you have correctly installed your desired package.
The solution is simple. Different versions of the flask run with different codes so just change the code : flask.ext.login to the code: flask_login
It should run smoothly.
Note that this also applies to bootstrap. Actually inorder to find the solution I had the error while importing bootstrap.
