cannot import name 'Bootstrap5' from 'flask_bootstrap'?

Question

I am trying to import Bootstrap5 from flask_bootstrap in my Python code on a Mac M1 using Python3. However, I get an import error saying that the name Bootstrap5 cannot be imported from flask_bootstrap. Here's the code snippet:

 from flask import Flask, flash, jsonify

 from flask_bootstrap import Bootstrap5

and I get this error

cannot import name 'Bootstrap5' from 'flask_bootstrap'

I can import bootstrap without any issues, but not Bootstrap5. What could be causing this problem and how can I fix it?
