This is a packaging issue. The short answer is if in your venv you run

pip uninstall flufl.bounce flufl.lock flufl.i18n
pip install flufl.bounce flufl.lock flufl.i18n

to remove and reinstall the flufl modules, it will then work.

The longer answer is if you look in your venv's site-packages directory
before you remove the flufl modules, you will see

flufl.bounce-3.0.2-py3.9.egg/
flufl.i18n-3.1.5-py3.9.egg/
flufl.lock-5.0.5-py3.9.egg/

and in easy-install.pth entries

./flufl.lock-5.0.5-py3.9.egg
./flufl.i18n-3.1.5-py3.9.egg/
./flufl.bounce-3.0.2-py3.9.egg/

and after, in site-packages

flufl/
flufl.bounce-3.0.2.dist-info/
flufl.bounce-3.0.2-py3.9-nspkg.pth
flufl.i18n-3.1.5.dist-info/
flufl.i18n-3.1.5-py3.9-nspkg.pth
flufl.lock-5.0.5.dist-info/
flufl.lock-5.0.5-py3.9-nspkg.pth

and in site-packages/flufl

bounce/
i18n/
lock/

This later configuration works fo importing any of flufl.bounce,
flufl.i18n and flufl.lock, but the former winds up looking in
flufl.bounce-3.0.2-py3.9.egg/ for everything and only finds flufl.bounce
and not the others.
