Cannot import module

[serhattsnmz]

I downloaded flask-sentinel by pip like:

$ pip install flask-sentinel

When I try to import module, I am getting following error:

>>> from flask.ext.sentinel import oauth
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask.ext'

No module named 'flask.ext'

Also I am trying the following way too and getting different error:

>>> from flask_sentinel import oauth
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "c:\users\serhat\desktop\repos\python3-virtual\lib\site-packages\flask_sentinel\__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

I just spent 2 days trying to get this to work and it was a bit of a pain. You are correct in that flask.ext.whatever has been deprecated. You should use flask_sentinel instead. Then next error is due to a change in the requests-oauthlib package. Lastly if you want to use mongodb you have to downgrade that as well. You also need a redis version < 3 otherwise you will get a 500 error when trying to get a bearer token. Do the following and you'll be able to run it.

pip install requests-oauthlib==1.1.0 flask-pymongo==0.5.2 redis==2.10.6

Adjust your config line: app.config.from_object('settings.Config')

Add a settings.py file with your settings:

class Config(object):
    SENTINEL_MONGO_DBNAME = "REST"
    SENTINEL_MANAGEMENT_USERNAME = "user"
    SENTINEL_MANAGEMENT_PASSWORD = "password"
    SENTINEL_MONGO_HOST = "127.0.0.1"
    SENTINEL_MONGO_PORT = "27017"
    SENTINEL_MONGO_URI = "mongodb://rest:[email protected]:27017/REST"

and off you go.
