AWS Elastic Beanstalk error - ImportError: No module named flask.ext.sqlalchemy

Question

I deployed my flask application into aws beanstalk and ran into an import error:

ImportError: No module named flask.ext.sqlalchemy

In my application.py file, I have this statement

from flask.ext.sqlalchemy import SQLAlchemy

and it runs fine on my machine but does not work in aws elastic beanstalk.

Anyone ran into a similar issue?

The Flask-SQLAlchemy extension is now located at `flask_sqlalchemy`. See [the documentation](http://flask-sqlalchemy.pocoo.org/2.1/quickstart/). — franklin, Jan 25 '16 at 07:02

Make sure you have included a requirements.txt file in root directory of your project.

The file should include any pip package that needs to be installed

Flask-SQLAlchemy=1.0

link appears broken. Is this link the same thing? http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/cookbook.html#requirements-files – Spencer Williams Jan 09 '14 at 00:20

Run `sudo pip install Flask-SQLAlchemy==1.0` to get this puppy from the cmdline. – tandy Mar 12 '15 at 16:28
