Bug#1002958: python3-flask-migrate missing: No module named 'flask_migrate'

[Akkana Peck]

Package: python3-flask-migrate
Version: python3-flask-sqlalchemy
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: d...@shallowsky.com

Dear Maintainer,

The package python3-flask-migrate is missing in bookworm even though
it's there in sid and in packages before bookworm:
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=python3-flask-migrate&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

This is a problem for anyone trying to use python3-flask-sqlalchemy
since most flask-sqlalchemy apps use migration (at least, all the
examples I've seen do, so I've followed that in my own apps).

Can python3-flask-migrate please be added back to bookworm? I know
it's possible to get it through pip install, but I prefer using Debian
packages when possible since they get security updates.

One easy way to see the problem is to use lesson 4 (or any later
lesson) of the Flask Mega Tutorial:

git clone https://github.com/miguelgrinberg/microblog.git
cd microblog/
git checkout tags/v0.4
export FLASK_APP=microblog.py
flask run

which produces output:

Error: While importing 'microblog', an ImportError was raised:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/flask/cli.py", line 256, in locate_app
__import__(module_name)
File "/home/akkana/outsrc/microblog/microblog.py", line 1, in <module>
from app import app, db
File "/home/akkana/outsrc/microblog/app/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>
from flask_migrate import Migrate
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask_migrate'


Thanks for considering this!
