ImportError: cannot import name 'Flask'

Hi Everyone,

Python N00b. I have searched issues but couldn't find a solution to the same problem as mine.

I am at STEP 3: and am getting the following error when I run python3.6 blockchain.py:

(It could be relevant that I haven't installed Postman yet.)

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "blockchain.py", line 7, in
from flask import Flask, jsonify, request
ImportError: cannot import name 'Flask'

Thanks for your help kindly.

pip install Flask
pip install jsonify
pip install request

If you do not have pip installed,
https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/
This link should help

Open command prompt or terminal and type

pip3 install Flask
pip3 install jsonify
pip3 install request

[dvf]

Just do pip install -U pipenv && pipenv install && pipenv shell

[alex-manutd]

IT WORKS!

pip3 install Flask
pip3 install jsonify
pip3 install request

followed by:

pip3 install Flask==0.12.2 requests==2.18.4

python3 blockchain.py

Thank you all!!

Have you named your project flask.py or Flask.py? If you have, change it. It is trying to import itself and is failing causing an import error.

i changed the name but still not working
ImportError: cannot import name 'Flask' from partially initialized module 'webf' (most likely due to a circular import)
