I'm following @Miguel flask mega tutorial which is great. In chapter 3 he talks about web forms and flaskWTF extension, installing the extension like this sudo pip install Flask-WTF resulted in

Successfully installed Flask-WTF Flask WTForms Werkzeug Jinja2 itsdangerous markupsafe

but when executing ./run.py i get an error:

No module named flask.ext.wtf`

I've google the error and tried to run it like this: flask/bin/python run.py but got the same error, also tried flask/bin/activate

Update: if you run into the same error this is what solved the issue for me I've installed the following, for sure they are not all needed but since i didn't go one by one to find out which one did the trick i'm listing them all

flask/bin/pip install flask-login
flask/bin/pip install flask-openid
flask/bin/pip install flask-mail
flask/bin/pip install sqlalchemy
flask/bin/pip install flask-sqlalchemy
flask/bin/pip install sqlalchemy-migrate
flask/bin/pip install flask-whooshalchemy==0.55a
flask/bin/pip install flask-wtf
flask/bin/pip install pytz
flask/bin/pip install flask-babel
flask/bin/pip install flup

The API has changed from:

from flask.ext.wtf import Form

to:

from flask_wtf import Form
