How to resolve versionConflict error in Flask (PyJWT and Flask-JWT-Extended)

Question

I want to run a very simple application using Flask framework. I have also run and developed flask app before. After a while I need to develop a new simple app using it.

So I have created a virtual environment and activated it:

virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python --version # prints 3.8.6
pip --version # prints pip 20.3.1

Then installed Flask:

(venv) pip install -U Flask

Here is my hello world code:

from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    return "Hello, World!"

Whenever I run flask run command I face to the following error:

raise VersionConflict(dist, req).with_context(dependent_req)
pkg_resources.ContextualVersionConflict: (PyJWT 2.0.0 (/home/user/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages), Requirement.parse('PyJWT<2.0,>=1.6.4'), {'Flask-JWT-Extended'})

I have also seen the similar links which I refer them below but I didn't get any clue about how resolving it.

P.S It is notable that I have tried installing different version of PyJWT like 1.7.1, 2.0.0, etc. but none of them worked properly.

Answer 1

Make sure to pip install --upgrade flask-jwt-extended as well. The newest version of that should work fine with flask 2.x.x and PyJWT 2.x.x.

Versions:

Flask==2.0.1
PyJWT==2.1.0
Flask_JWT_Extended==4.2.1

Answer 2

This solved my issue without having to make a new Venv/Environment from scratch :
try uninstalling Flask and all Flask Related modules and then just run pip install flask-jwt-extended which will install flask properly again.

works with flask-jwt-extended==4.3.1 and will setup flask==2.0.2
