Hi Python Team and Benjamin, could you give me some orientation to my issue=
 below?

A while ago I packaged [1] a software named Flask-SocketIO [2].
It depends of other software named python-socketio, and I could find this p=
ackage on Debian that time [3]. In fact this package is gevent-socketio sof=
tware [4].

But as you can see in this bug reported [5], Flask-SocketIO can't use geven=
t-socketio.=20

  From flask_socketio/__init__.py:
       if gevent_socketio_found:
           print('The gevent-socketio package is incompatible with this ver=
sion of '
                 'the Flask-SocketIO extension. Please uninstall it, and th=
en '
                 'install the latest version of python-socketio in its plac=
e.')
           sys.exit(1)

The upstream (Miguel) that developed Flask-SocketIO has developed other pyt=
hon-socketio [6].
So, I throught to package this python-socketio from Miguel to close the Fla=
sk-SocketIO bug.

gevent-socketio seems to be stoped since 2016 and it does not seem to be up=
date to Python 3. When I install it, it is under the tree:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/socketio

My package with python-socketio (from Miguel) uses namespace "socketio" too=
, and it would be under the tree:
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/socketio

So. what is a good a solution to this?
Keep my python-socketio on Python3 tree and gevent-socketio on Python2.7?
Use Conflicts field to force the user to remove gevent-socketio before inst=
all python-socketio?
Or other solution?
