Research direction

Start with the python-flask generator command and the generated out/swagger_server package, using the linked Gotify spec.json as input. Inspect the generated Python files for the reported null-byte failure, then run python -m swagger_server to reproduce it. Done means the same generation and module-start workflow no longer raises this error.
