ImportError: cannot import name 'Markup' from 'jinja2'

Question

When I recently deployed my project that includes Flask==1.0.2 and Jinja2>=2.10.1, I got the following error. It was running fine when I deployed it the previous day. I tried updating Jinja2 but that didn't fix the issue.

As the import error comes from flask File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/flask/__init__.py

I tried to create a new Flask application using Flask==1.0.2 and found that the error comes from this version of Flask when it used with Jinja2>=2.10.1.

But when you remove Flask==1.0.2 and install Flask==2.0.3, everything works fine.

pip uninstall  Flask Jinja2

pip install Flask Jinja2

Dependencies

pip freeze

click==8.0.4
Flask==2.0.3
itsdangerous==2.1.2
Jinja2==3.1.1
MarkupSafe==2.1.1
Werkzeug==2.0.3

Version 3.0.1

Regarding to the documentation

Fixed calling deprecated jinja2.Markup without an argument. Use markupsafe.Markup instead. #1438

So to import Markup use the following code :

>>> from markupsafe import Markup 
>>> Markup()
Markup('')

That version can be installed with `pip install jinja2==3.0.1` – Dereckson Mar 28 '22 at 23:03
Right Dear @Dereckson, or `pip install Jinja2` for the latest version. – Gedeon Mutshipayi May 07 '22 at 15:26

I solved a similar issue by running pip install --upgrade <package-name> on all individual packages of my flask app. This means that I did;

pip install --upgrade babel
pip install --upgrade python-dateutil
pip install --upgrade flask-moment
pip install --upgrade flask-wtf
pip install --upgrade flask_sqlalchemy

This might be a result of using a depreciated version of jinja2. In that case, uninstall jinja2 using pip uninstall jinja2 Then, install a stable version. You can install version 3 using pip install jinja2==3.0

@KansaiRobot, do you find a better solution? I am having the same error. I have deployed successfully but in browsing, it shows an application error (cannot import name 'Markup' from 'jinja2') – Fatimah Mohmmed Sep 07 '22 at 05:39
actually, I just gave up trying to use a requirements file. Instead I installed each necessary function manually one by one – KansaiRobot Sep 07 '22 at 11:53

Right, you have to use the version 3.x of jinja2 and change the way to import, ```Markup``` and ```escape``` are now in ```jinja2.utils.markupsafe``` module. – Gedeon Mutshipayi Mar 28 '22 at 10:19

i am not importing it, flask is importing it in run time. `File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/flask/__init__.py", line 19, in from jinja2 import Markup, escape` – young_minds1 Mar 28 '22 at 10:36
Upgrade your flask version if it doesn't break your code. see this [post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/71647006/12042898) – Gedeon Mutshipayi Mar 28 '22 at 11:51
tried this. did not work – KansaiRobot Sep 01 '22 at 04:38
Dear @KansaiRobot, what is your flask version ? – Gedeon Mutshipayi Sep 01 '22 at 04:41
Sorry, I would answer that but it seems I just destroyed the virtual env and cannot recreate it. When I do I will post the version – KansaiRobot Sep 01 '22 at 04:50

Re: unclear. [For Noting] ... `pip install Werkzeug==2.0.0 jinja2==3.0` gives `ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts. flask 2.2.3 requires Werkzeug>=2.2.2, but you have werkzeug 2.0.0 which is incompatible.` – semmyk-research Mar 25 '23 at 09:59

Hey what you need to do is update all the requirements files by running

pip install --upgrade <requirements.txt>

or

pip install --upgrade <Do it manually>

I faced this issue when using a python virtual environment, I had to remove flask and other libraries that were in the base python installation. I think some library I installed there was messing somehow with it.

TL;DR from markupsafe import Markup

I tried updating Jinja2 but that didn't fix the issue.

For some, simply updating (or uninstall and install) jinja2 and Flask works.

However, the root problem is a 'pending' PR (pull request): Fixed Markup import; it is now imported from markupsafe #32

To resolve this, do a git or simply edit the flask_jsglue.pyfile in the... lib\site-packages\flask_jsglue.py
edit from jinja2 import Markup to from markupsafe import Markup

#from jinja2 import Markup
from markupsafe import Markup

@Ged-Flod provided an excellent reference to the Jinja2 documentation: deprecation of jinja2.Markup.

I had the issue when trying to deploy with Zappa. The solution I found was to run.

pip install --platform=manylinux2014_x86_64 --only-binary=:all: --target venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages flask markupsafe jinja2==3.0.3 --force-reinstall --upgrade

pip install -r requirements.txt

file requirements.txt such as:

Flask==1.1.2  
Flask-Cors==3.0.8  
Flask-RESTful==0.3.8  
Jinja2==2.11.2 
MarkupSafe==1.1.1  
itsdangerous==1.1.0  
Werkzeug==1.0.1

-> I think Flask version > 2.0 has this error!
