I am receiving this error when I run my flask app, I have even installed wheel then flask-bcrypt . How do I resolve the following ModuleNotFoundError?

Question

This is my init .py file. I am trying to hash user passwords in my other file using Bcrypt. Following code is init .py

from flask import Flask
from flask_sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy
from flask_bcrypt import Bcrypt

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = '5791628bb0b13ce0cfde280ba245'
app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = 'sqlite:///smashpass.db'
db = SQLAlchemy(app)  # Database instance
bcrypt = Bcrypt(app)



# Beware of circular imports
from smashpass import routes

Then the snippet of the code invoking Bcrypt()

form = RegistrationForm()
    if form.validate_on_submit():
        hashed_password = bcrypt.generate_password_hash(form.password.data).decode('utf-8')
        user = User(username=form.username.data, email=form.email.data, password=hashed_password)
        db.session.add(user)
        db.session.commit()

This is the error reviewed after:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "run.py", line 1, in <module>
    from smashpass import app
  File "C:\Users\user\PycharmProjects\smashpass\smashpass\__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
    from flask_bcrypt import Bcrypt
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask_bcrypt'

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You must first install the module:

pip install flask-bcrypt

Also according to the documentation , the import statement should look like this:

from flask.ext.bcrypt import Bcrypt
