the exact error I get is :

from werkzeug.contrib.cache import FileSystemCache
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'werkzeug.contrib'
I am trying to import sessions from Flask
After downgrading werkzeug:
pip install werkzeug==0.16.0
If you get the following:
flask 2.0.2 requires Werkzeug>=2.0, but you have werkzeug 0.16.0 which is incompatible
Consider doing:pip install flask==1.1.1
If you still need deprecated code from werkzeug.contrib, you can downgrade Werkzeug version to less than 1.
pip install Werkzeug<1
Werkzeug 1.0.0 has removed deprecated code, including all of werkzeug.contrib. You should use alternative libraries for new projects. werkzeug.contrib.session was extracted to secure-cookie.
If an existing project you're using needs something from contrib, you'll need to downgrade to Werkzeug<1:
pip3 install Werkzeug<1
For Python 3.8
python3 -m pip uninstall werkzeug
python3 -m pip install werkzeug
python3 -m pip install flask-session
You will need to downgrade werkzeug version from 1.0.0 to 0.16.0
This solved the problem for me.
Just run the following commands in your project:
python3 -m pip uninstall werkzeug
and then
python3 -m pip install werkzeug==0.16.0
Either downgrade the version to 0.16.0 or replace werkzeug.contrib.cache with cachelib.
I can highly recommend upgrading the package. The deprecated module werkzeug.contrib is very easy to replace!
Install cachelib and replace all imports from:
from werkzeug.contrib.cache import FileSystemCache
to
from cachelib import FileSystemCache
