apparently werkzeug deprecated werkzeug.utils.escape in v2.0.0 [1] and removed it in v2.1.0 [2].
The changelog says: "Remove escape and unescape. Use MarkupSafe instead."

A temporary workaround would be to use werkzeug<2.1.0

Created PR with project uniphil/feedwerk#2

[uniphil]

Fixes should be live in feedwerk == 1.1.0!

[mar1ad]

A fresh install, with Werkzeug==2.1.2 and feedwerk==1.1.0, works.
Thanks @sungakim816 for reporting and @uniphil for the quick release.

@gouthambs, this issue can be closed.
