sorry for being so short but I'm here if you need details

This could be because the flask-wtf module is out of date.

When I run:

$ pip freeze | grep Flask-WTF
Flask-WTF==0.8.2

I see that I am using running version 0.8.2. What are you running?

This should be a hard requirement in the setup.py file, but it is not. I will fix this once we find the root issue here.

I've checked the version-history of flask-wtf and they say in the docs: The current version of Flask-WTF is 0.9.5 I'm confused now cause I'm running: Flask-WTF==0.10.0

should I downgrade?

0.10.2 is the latest release on PyPI -- the docs are just out of date.

Looking at the upgrade doc, it looks as though the field imports are no longer supported:

Dropping the imports of wtforms is a big change, it may be lots of pain for you, but the imports are hard to maintain. Instead of importing Fields from Flask-WTF, you need to import them from the original wtforms

Looks like the code needs to change to be future-proof.

@szilvesztercsab I've just released flask-ldap-login-0.3.0 with flask-wtf >= 0.8 fix included.

damn, that was fast...

Very much appreciated and mega-thanks... ;)

Great to know there's an active community here and would love to help out too if I'd be smarter :P
