Can't import flask because werkzeug

When I use from flask import *, I get the error

ImportError: No module named werkzeug.exceptions

However, when I do pip freeze, I can see that Werkzeug==0.11.11 is indeed installed. How can I fix this?

I had installed quite a few flask packages only with pip, but that was not enough, I also got the error ImportError: No module named werkzeug.exceptions.

The hint of the other answer, mentioning python-flask and python-werkzeug, brought the main idea. In my case, the solution was to apt-get install python-flask. It installed werkzeug as a dependency and the error was gone.

I faced same issue. I got this error when working in python virtual environment. I had to deactivate virtual environment. Then go to root user and install werkzeug using pip. After that it works in virtual environment.

I had this problem with Yocto while installing python-flask from: http://git.yoctoproject.org/git/meta-virtualization.

The solution was to manually add python-werkzeug to my yocto image as well. I suspect that python-flask should depend upon python-werkzeug. Additionally, I had to add python-jinja2 as well to the image.

I am asumming, that the wrong version of Werkzeug was installed in the fist place. This usually happens, when you have 2 versions of python installed, and you use 'pip' for installing dependancies rather than using 'pip3'. Hope this helped!
