I am trying to use flask_login from the flask-security-too package, but I cannot seem to import it.
Looking at the documentation, the function does not seem to be deprecated or anything.
I tried different arrangements of package and sub-package to import it, but no luck
>>> import flask_security
>>> from flask_security.utils import login_user
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask_security.utils'
>>> from flask_security import login_user
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'login_user' from 'flask_security' (unknown location)
>>> from flask_security import utils
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: cannot import name 'utils' from 'flask_security' (unknown location)
>>> flask_security.login_user
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'flask_security' has no attribute 'login_user'
And so that you can see what I have installed, here is the output of pip list:

Am I missing something super obvious, or has something changed? I'm certain I have previously just done from flask_security import login_user without issue.

Edit: Installed on a totally fresh venv with nothing else, I am able to import as expected. I will install my requirements one-by-one and see if and when the problem re-emerges.
Edit: So I have reinstalled all my packages and all seems well. The only thing I can think of is that maybe when I initially installed packages from requirements.txt it caused different versions of packages to be pulled in and thus I ended up with a dependency issue. I had manually uninstalled flask-security and replaced it with flask-security-too, maybe that caused problems that pip was not able to detect/resolve.
