ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'authlib.flask'

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'authlib.flask'

TL;DR: authlib 1.0 deleted the authlib.flask shortcut module. Use from authlib.integrations.flask_client import OAuth instead.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'authlib.flask'

The fix

1. Replace the import:

from authlib.integrations.flask_client import OAuth

2. The rest of the Flask OAuth flow (register, authorizeredirect, authorizeaccess_token) works the same; only the import path changed.
3. Stopgap:

pip install "authlib<1"

4. Verify:

python -c "from authlib.integrations.flask_client import OAuth; print('ok')"

Expected output: ok.

When this applies

• Flask OAuth code written against authlib 0.x.
• pip show authlib reports 1.0+.
• Old blog posts and Stack Overflow answers using authlib.flask.

When it does NOT apply

• No module named 'authlib', which is the package missing entirely.
• No module named 'authlib.client', the sibling removal for non-Flask code.

Why this happens

The 1.0 release flattened the framework shortcuts into the integrations namespace so each framework has one canonical import path. The old shortcuts were deleted rather than left as aliases, so the failure is loud and immediate instead of a silent deprecation.

Compatibility

authlib 1.x removed authlib.flask. flask_client exists in 0.15+, so migrate first, upgrade second.

authlib 1.0 removed the legacy framework shortcut modules including authlib.flask, consolidating everything under authlib.integrations. The 1.0 changelog documents the removal, and Flask apps written against 0.x break with this ModuleNotFoundError on upgrade. The supported path is from authlib.integrations.flask_client import OAuth, which has existed since the 0.15 line.
