Just an update reminder on UserMixin importing, not a question

The UserMixin has no longer been included as ext libraries, hence 'from flask.ext.login import UserMixin' should be changed to 'from flask_login import UserMixin' for newer versions.

Note that I am using Python 3.7.2 version under Windows.
