Getting a "AttributeError: module 'hashlib' has no attribute 'scrypt'" during the tutorial

My code matches 1 for 1; followed the tutorial to the T and I am getting the error posted in the title. Can't seem to get an answer anywhere.

What version of Python are you using and where did you install it from? scrypt is available in all supported builds of Python.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/hashlib.html#hashlib.scrypt note the docs say it was added in 3.6.

it seems to only happen with the system provided python3.

Nice! I installed python3.10 via brew, and the problem is solved.

Note that both the system and brew Python's are not intended for "normal" development. You'd only develop against them if you expect to install next to and use them. Typically, you should use the official installers available at https://python.org.

I'm studying Flask and i create a Flask project named pythonbbs. In define UserModel, i imported the function generate_password_hash from package werkzeug.security for encryption the password from front html. In Windows, it runs well. but when i pull codes to centos 7.9, i also got this error. My python version is 3.9.0 in linux but 3.9.16 in windows. What need i do to resolve this problem?

start by not using an ancient python version
