Flask: Werkzeug 0.16.0 Released

[NewsBot]

A new Flask blog post/announcement has been posted!

Werkzeug 0.16.0 has been released. The only change is that most of the top-level attributes in the werkzeug module are now deprecated, and will be removed in 1.0.0.

For example, instead of import werkzeug; werkzeug.url_quote, do from werkzeug.urls import url_quote. If you are using these imports in your project, a deprecation warning will show the correct import to use. werkzeug.exceptions and werkzeug.routing should also be imported instead of accessed, but for technical reasons can’t show a warning.

These imports were supported by patching the werkzeug module to support lazy imports, but the implementation added complexity, and there was no clear design reason why some things were available and some weren't. It also masked some circular dependency issues. IDEs like PyCharm didn't know those lazy imports existed and were already correctly using the full imports.
