When I do Flask run, it shows error : ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'werkzeug.contrib'. Can anyone help me with this?

the exact error I get is :

flask.cli.NoAppException: While importing "application", an ImportError was raised:Traceback      (most recent call last):
File "/home/harshit/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/flask/cli.py", line 240, in     locate_app

with the upgrade of werkzeug from version 0.16.0 to 1.0.1, the werkzeug.contrib.cache module has been moved to a standalone package cachelib. For example, to import the RedisCache class, please use the following import: from cachelib.redis import RedisCache.

To elaborate on Alexander P's answer: If you're using this on Werkzeug 0.16.0

from werkzeug.contrib.fixers import ProxyFix

You can replace it with this for Werkzeug 2.2.3

from werkzeug.middleware.proxy_fix import ProxyFix

Found that module in the source code. Now it can be imported with the following line

from werkzeug.middleware.proxy_fix import ProxyFix

For my upgrade (0.15.5 -> 2.2.3) Everything is moved or removed from contrib to other modules. I recomend going to the documentation for your specific version of werkzeug and searching the library you are trying to import. I found mine!

from werkzeug.middleware.profiler import ProfilerMiddleware
app = ProfilerMiddleware(app)

After downgrading werkzeug:

pip install werkzeug==0.16.0

If you get the following: flask 2.0.2 requires Werkzeug>=2.0, but you have werkzeug 0.16.0 which is incompatible

Consider doing:pip install flask==1.1.1

Either downgrade the version to 0.16.0 or replace werkzeug.contrib.cache with cachelib.

I can highly recommend upgrading the package. The deprecated module werkzeug.contrib is very easy to replace!

Install cachelib and replace all imports from:

from werkzeug.contrib.cache import FileSystemCache

to

from cachelib import FileSystemCache

You will need to downgrade werkzeug version from 1.0.0 to 0.16.0

This solved the problem for me.

Just run the following commands in your project:

python3 -m pip uninstall werkzeug

and then

python3 -m pip install werkzeug==0.16.0

If you still need deprecated code from werkzeug.contrib, you can downgrade Werkzeug version to less than 1.

pip install Werkzeug<1

Werkzeug 1.0.0 has removed deprecated code, including all of werkzeug.contrib. You should use alternative libraries for new projects. werkzeug.contrib.session was extracted to secure-cookie.

If an existing project you're using needs something from contrib, you'll need to downgrade to Werkzeug<1:

pip3 install Werkzeug<1
