Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch failure from test/resources/spec/out/python-flask-server using python-flask-server/requirements.txt, then inspect openapi/encoder.py and openapi/main.py, where the traceback points. Done means the generated server starts without the reported ImportError under the documented installation steps.
