Superset 3.0 pypi package installs wrong version of wtforms

[igorcalabria]

When installing superset with pip, it seems that a wrong version of wtforms is used. Which results in errors like this in some pages (List users, roles, and activity for example)

How to reproduce the bug

1. Install superset on a fresh virtual environment with pip install apache-superset==3.0.0
2. Run the usual setup and init
3. Navigate to "List users", "List roles" or "Action Log"

Expected results

I've expected superset package from pypi to require the correct versions for its dependencies.

Additional context

setup.py requires "wtforms>=2.3.3, <4" but it looks like superset 3.0 is not compatible with wtforms=3.1.0 which was the version installed on this case. To fix this, I just installed version 2.3.3 manually

pip uninstall wtforms
pip install wtforms==2.3.3

Adding

RUN pip uninstall wtforms -y
RUN pip install wtforms==2.3.3

to my dockerfile solved my issue here. Thanks!

Closing as a duplicate of #25631. Please see the latest comment there, this should be fixed in Superset 3.0.2.
