No module named flask_restplus

[terryh01]

I am trying to run the wordclock script and I get the above error.

pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ sudo python wordclock.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "wordclock.py", line 11, in <module>
    import wordclock_interfaces.web_interface as wciweb
  File "/home/pi/rpi_wordclock/wordclock_interfaces/web_interface.py", line 4, in <module>
    from flask_restplus import Api, Resource, fields
ImportError: No module named flask_restplus

I have tried to run the install again for flask_restplus and this happens

pi@raspberrypi:~/rpi_wordclock $ sudo pip install flask-restplus

Same problem when I try to run the wordclock script again. Can anyone help?

There are several other issues here which already have a solution.

Please reopen, if not resolved.

@bk1285 would it not be better to use Flaskrestx which seems to be updated more often and is working in @phenze Py3 variant of the clock ? From what I read Restplus is not being updated or is infrequently.

Flaskrestx is better because of the community around it.
