I am currently running a conda environment with flask-wtf version 0.14.2 and wtforms version 2.21 and I have trouble solving this ImportError: cannot import name 'url_encode' from 'werkzeug'

The following code is the complete traceback.

Setting werkzeug==0.16.1 in your requirements file fixes it. The issue is with the 1.0.0 version
