ImportError: No module named flask.ext.mysql

Question

Hi I am trying to run a python file that has :

from flask import Flask, render_template, json, request
from flask.ext.mysql import MySQL
from werkzeug import generate_password_hash, check_password_hash

I started in windows, I got the same error :

ImportError: No module named flask.ext.mysql

Someone told me don't develop python in windows, it's lot of headache, so I started the same project in Ubuntu, but I got the same problem :

vagrant@precise32:/vagrant/FlaskMysql/FlaskApp$ python app.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "app.py", line 2, in <module>
from flask.ext.mysql import MySQL
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/flask/exthook.py", line 87, in    load_module
raise ImportError('No module named %s' % fullname)
ImportError: No module named flask.ext.mysql

Please your help is appreciated.

Did you install Flask-MySQL?

Here is the official Flask-MySQL documentation: https://flask-mysql.readthedocs.org/en/latest/# You'll find that the current import syntax is as follows:

from flaskext.mysql import MySQL

It's flaskext, so...

Change

from flask.ext.mysql import MySQL

to

from flaskext.mysql import MySQL

I had the same problem, so I installed flask-mysql using:

$ pip install flask-mysql

and the module name is flaskext.mysql

It seems like a virtualenv config problem you should get rid of old virtualenv and make a new one like this

virtualenv yournewvirtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3.4

This is the link I referenced: https://www.pythonanywhere.com/forums/topic/2877/

Run these commands on your terminal (one by one:

pip install flask-mysql

On your editor:

from flask import Flask
from flaskext.mysql import MySQL

# initialize your connection
