ViewsPython Flask import Error of module that isn´t being imported
I have a flask app running in Google App Engine. Yesterday, I deployed a new version of my app where I only change the HTML style. It deployed as it was supposed to. Today, I realized that I didn't change the title for each corresponding HTML page, so I only changed the title tag in each HTML page. I deployed the app again and now I'm getting this strange error of an Import Error for a module that I have never even used. How can I fix this?
The error:
ImportError: cannot import name 'json' from 'itsdangerous' (/layers/google.python.pip/pip/lib/python3.7/site-packages/itsdangerous/__init__.py)
EDIT FEB 24, 2022:
as you can see, the original folder to python3.7 has been replaced with python3.9
Is this normal in GAE?

This is caused by changes in Flask dependencies. Another question about this was asked on ServerFault.
You can either upgrade to Flask>2, or I had to downgrade to itsdangerous==2.0.1 if you can't do that.

I had the same issue today. I was using flask=1.1.2, and when I updated the version to flask==2.0.3, the import issue was resolved.

This issue on Flask's GitHub is related.
Either update to Flask>2, or if that's not possible pin ItsDangerous<2 and MarkupSafe<2.
To pin to lower versions in a requirements.txt file:
flask==1.1.4
itsdangerous==1.1.0
markupsafe==1.1.1

the deprecation is performed with itsdangerous > 2.0.1.
