Can't install Flask-Enterprise for python 3.6 on Ubuntu 18.04

Question

I have an Ubuntu 18.04 operating system with two versions of python installed; 3.6 and 2.7. I tried to install Flask-Enterprise for python 3.6 and I got:

zeinab@ZiZi:~/PycharmProjects/My_Service$ sudo pip3 install Flask-Enterprise

But when I install it for python 2.7, everything works fine:

zeinab@ZiZi:~/PycharmProjects/My_Service$ sudo pip2 install Flask-Enterprise

I found this answer and I installed suds-jurko as an alternative for suds, then tried to install Flask-Enterprise again; I got the same error.

EDIT 1:

I tried to install it in a virtual environment, but I got identical results:

zeinab@Snapp:~$ virtualenv -p python3 testenv
Already using interpreter /usr/bin/python3

From what I can see, there was 1 release in 2011 and I can barely find any other info on the package. I doubt it's compatible — roganjosh, Jan 26 '19 at 08:24
@roganjosh, thanks for the hint; I'll search about it and if it is the point, I'll let you know to post it as the answer. — Zeinab Abbasimazar, Jan 26 '19 at 08:32
@ZeinabAbbasimazar Did you try `apt-get install python3.6-dev` before `flask` installation? — Benyamin Jafari, Mar 22 '19 at 16:28

create a virtual environment by using virtualenv or pipenv. simply run: virtualenv -p python3 envname
use this newly created python3 environment as your project interpreter/environment.
open terminal and run following command to activate your environment: source envname/bin/activate
now install Flask-Enterprise in this virtualenv by using: pip3 install Flask-Enterprise

I don't see how this solves the issues posted by the OP? – roganjosh Jan 26 '19 at 08:31
I think this error is occurred for the reason of overloading the package.See: Requirement already satisfied: Flask>=0.3 in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages (from Flask-Enterprise) Collecting soaplib (from Flask-Enterprise) – raihan_s Jan 26 '19 at 08:37
And directly trying to install package in python root directory.why not you trying to install it in a virtual environment? – raihan_s Jan 26 '19 at 08:40

That's not what that line means. It means that it checked to see whether the user has a Flask version greater than 0.3. They do. That is not an error and it's not overloading a package. – roganjosh Jan 26 '19 at 08:42

And they're not installing into root. This is a scattergun of suggestions. – roganjosh Jan 26 '19 at 08:43
Sorry there is a correction. Please use python2 for using Flask-Enterprise. Python3 has some problem with Flask-Enterprise. virtualenv -p python2 envname source envname/bin/activate pip2 install Flask-Enterprise. worked for me. – raihan_s Jan 26 '19 at 08:47

That's the entire point of the question...they already know it works in 2.7 and want to use in Python 3. All of this was clearly shown in the main post. Please make sure you fully understand what is being asked before posting an answer; guesswork is not helpful. – roganjosh Jan 26 '19 at 08:51
