PyMongo import error
I am trying to deploy my Flask app on my Linode server. All my files are on that server, but when I run it, I get:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flask_pymongo'
I check the documentation to see how I can verify if PyMongo is installed, and it suggests:
python -c "import sys; print(sys.version)"
When I run that command, I get this in return:
2.7.17 (default, Nov 7 2019, 10:07:09)
[GCC 9.2.1 20191008]
To me, that suggests that PyMongo is indeed installed. The app runs fine on my local server. I have a requirements.txt file that has the line:
Flask-PyMongo==2.7.17
No idea what's wrong or how to fix. Any suggestions?

As I'm not an expert on PyMongo, I did some digging online to see if I could come up with some answers for you.
This item I found on Stack Overflow may help. It's not associated with Flask, but the solution may still be relevant:
Not able to resolve ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pymongo'
Another Stack Overflow article gives potential solutions to a similar issue:
