ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'string' while importing flask

I have my project working on my pc. I am trying to transfer it on different PC. I have every package installed in virtualenvironment like flask, flask-security etc and it works great on my pc.

But when I transfer it to other pc it fails. It cannot even import the Flask and fails with .

you need to remove env folder and files because has configurations of your another computer, so create a new one env and just execute pip freeze -r requeriments.txt to install depenedencies

If you copy all project with the virtualenv folder this is a bad practice, you need only to copy the project with the requirements.txt file, and install all packages from requirements.txt for example:

# activate your virtualenv on your PC
. env/bin/activate

# now we need to create a requirements.txt file with `pip freeze`
pip freeze > requirements.txt

# now in our folder we have a `requirements.txt` file with all our packages

# after this copy all your packge without `virtualenv` folder,
# but with `requirements.txt file


# when you are on another PC create a new `virtualenv` activate it and install 
# the packages from `requirements.txt` with this command

pip install -r requirements.txt
