To solve the ImportError cannot import name ‘_endpoint_from_view_func’ from ‘flask.helpers’ error you can do monkey patching as shown below:

import flask.scaffold
flask.helpers._endpoint_from_view_func = flask.scaffold._endpoint_from_view_func
import flask_restful

the current version of my Flask-RESTful package is 0.3.8. You can check the current installed version of flask-restful using pip show flask-restful

Since the current error has then been fixed in release 0.3.9 version, just upgrade the Flask-RESTful package version:

Flask-RESTful>0.3.8
