I get the following error that I don't understand, I have the flask_mysqldb module installed so I don't quite understand why it gives me an error

Make sure that you installed the missing package for the same Python version / virtual environment that runs your web app, and reloaded the web app afterwards.

when I do an install of flask_mysqldbI get the following

What is asdasdasdsa?

Sorry, I already changed it to flask_mysqldb

It looks like you're installing it into your userspace for Python 3.10 -- is it the environment that you run your web app with? If you're using a virtual environmnet for the web app, you need to install the package in this venv.
