import error

When I try importing the flask_awscognito library in my init.py module I get the below error. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

from flask_awscognito import AWSCognitoAuthentication

def create_app():
    app = Flask(__name__)
    app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'xxxxx'
    app.config['SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI'] = f'sqlite:///{DB_NAME}'
    db.init_app(app)


    from .views import views


    #cognito auth
    app.config['AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'] = 'us-east-1'
    app.config['AWS_COGNITO_DOMAIN'] = 'cognitodomain.com'
    app.config['AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID'] = 'us-east-1_XXXXXX'
    app.config['AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_CLIENT_ID'] = 'YYYYYYYY'
    app.config['AWS_COGNITO_USER_POOL_CLIENT_SECRET'] = 'ZZZZZZZZZ'
    app.config['AWS_COGNITO_REDIRECT_URL'] = 'http://localhost:5000/aws_cognito_redirect'
    aws_auth = AWSCognitoAuthentication(app)

The code is now around four years old, and it's not something I've looked into in a while. My guess would be in that time it looks like these libraries have changed, and the example code probably needs a little massaging to work in 2024.
