import flask gives ImportError: No module named jinja2

$ sudo /usr/bin/pip2 install flask==0.12

I get requirement already satisfied during install and then I get import error during import. Why is that ?

If you don't also have a /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jinja2, it's possible that a prior install got interrupted. If that's the case, in your position I'd try removing /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Jinja2-2.6-py2.6.egg and doing the install of flask==0.12 again.

There's a significantly newer version of Flask available (and Python, for that matter). I assume you have reasons for wanting something older.
