Does this course need an update? "flask.ext." libraries are already deprecated.

>>> from flask.ext.bcrypt import generate_password_hash
__main__:1: ExtDeprecationWarning: Importing flask.ext.bcrypt is deprecated, use flask_bcrypt instead.
>>> from flask.ext.login import UserMixin
__main__:1: ExtDeprecationWarning: Importing flask.ext.login is deprecated, use flask_login instead.

Probably needs an update, frameworks like Flask are updating all the time. I would say learn to do it the way on the course, then upgrade your code to use the latest version.

It will be a great thing to figure out using the docs etc. It will really help when doing real world projects, and you can let us all know how you got on :)

Its a win win!

Thanks for the feedback Keith!

You're right. It just made me panic at first. Actually, even using the new ones along with how it was done in the course is pretty much the same. Just the changes in the import statements. So I think it's not that big deal anymore.

Aside from this post, maybe I should rate the course as individual so that Treehouse can reflect on these feedback and perform necessary updates (even just in teacher's notes).

Thanks again.
