Root Cause

Trying to import a name that does not exist in the flask module, possibly due to typo or wrong submodule.

generic

中文

尝试从flask模块导入一个不存在的名称，可能是由于拼写错误或错误的子模块。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Correct the import statement 
    from flask import request
  2. 85% success Check available imports with dir 
    import flask; print([x for x in dir(flask) if not x.startswith('_')])

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Assuming request is a direct attribute of flask 60% fail

    request is in flask module, but import should be 'from flask import request'.

  2. Using old Flask version without the attribute 50% fail

    Some attributes may be added in later versions.
