When I run from flask.ext.mysql import MySQL I get the warning Importing flask.ext.mysql is deprecated, use flask_mysql instead.

So I installed flask_mysql using pip install flask_mysql,installed it successfully but then when I run from flask_mysql import MySQL I get the error No module named flask_mysql. In the first warning I also get Detected extension named flaskext.mysql, please rename it to flask_mysql. The old form is deprecated. .format(x=modname), ExtDeprecationWarning. Could you please tell me how exactly should I rename it to flask_mysql? Thanks in advance.

flask.ext. is a deprecated pattern which was used prevalently in older extensions and tutorials. The warning is telling you to replace it with the direct import, which it guesses to be flask_mysql. However, Flask-MySQL is using an even more outdated pattern, flaskext.. There is nothing you can do about that besides convincing the maintainer to release a new version that fixes it. from flaskext.mysql import MySQL should work and avoid the warning, although preferably the package would be updated to use flask_mysql instead.

flask.ext.X is the old form to import a Flask extension, it is deprecated since Flask v0.10. The new way is to use flask_X. That's why you got the first warning.

But apparently, Flask-MySQL does not update it's name form and use the flaskext as the package name (chedck it on GitHub). That's why you got the second warning.

so, is there any solution to avoid these warnings?
create an issue to request the maintainer to fix it.
