Not clear how websocket package is related but I will try to help!

IMO gevent-socketio is pretty much a dead or extremely low maintenance
upstream, we could try talking to them but its likely we wont reach out
to a consensus, renaming python modules is terrible from both point of
views.

That said, python-socketio has no reverse dependencies so it would be
somewhat easy to rename python-socketio to python-gevent-socketio,
create the new package as python3-socketio to not have any confusion
with the naming and set up conflicts for them.

Who knows? Maybe gevent-socketio will get active again and add py3
support, which then we would need python3-gevent-socketio.

If it doesn't it will get removed as python 2.x support will eventually
get dropped.

Cheers,
