Summary of changes
The flask-socketio dependency version being used is not compatible with some newer versions of Python. The gevent and eventlet dependencies have consistently been sources of difficulty, and since they are only needed for servers with a large number of connected clients, they aren't really even needed 1, 2. so they have been removed entirely. I'd rather not use socketio at all, but the only websocket support I've seen in Flask uses flask-socketio and gevent. With FastAPI, you can just use websockets and asyncio directly. Even better, replacing Python with node you can use websockets, async/await, AND have pty support on Windows. Maybe someday...
Anyway, in this PR:
