AttributeError: module 'sqlalchemy.orm' has no attribute 'DeclarativeMeta'

Getting the below error while running a flask application:

ubuntu@ip-10-50-50-190:~/RHS_US/application$ python3 run.py

AttributeError: module 'sqlalchemy.orm' has no attribute 'DeclarativeMeta'

I have also checked model.py under site packages and it does contain

class DefaultMeta(BindMetaMixin, NameMetaMixin, sa.orm.DeclarativeMeta):

Do pip freeze to see packages versions. Maybe you have incompatible sqlalchemy and flask-sqlalchemy packages. I recently ocasionaly updated my sqlalchemy package from 1.23.X to 1.4.X and one of projects, dependent on 1.23.X failed to work correctly until I noticed it and degraded sqlalchemy. But because of this I got the same exception. I tried to install older versions of flask-sqlalchemy:

pip install Flask-SQLAlchemy==2.4.4

But it thrown the next exception:

'_FakeStack' object has no attribute 'ident_func'

So I tried to install 2.5.0:

pip install Flask-SQLAlchemy==2.5.0

After this my flask project started without issues. Then I returned 2.5.1 and it also started without issues.

So in my case the cause of the issue was degrading sqlalchemy package, which is gone after reinstalling Flask-SQLAlchemy package

But I'm currently on python 3.11 windows. In your case the cause of the issue could differ.
