Question

I am not able to install wsgiref in ubuntu, I tried to install it with pip.

pip3 install wsgiref

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

wsgiref doesn't support your Python version

You have to use Python 2 and Pip 3, for more information read this

"This is a standalone release of the wsgiref library, that provides validation support for WSGI 1.0.1 (PEP 3333) for Python versions < 3.2, and includes the new wsgiref.util.test() utility function."

This is the solution from the Github issue:

There are a few fixes that will get you running, in order of least work to most:

Switch over to python2.7 for your will installs.

Try to upgrade wsgiref with pip install --upgrade wsgiref, and see if the latest version works with your setup, and with will (if it doesn't, you'd notice the http/webhooks stuff not working.

If you try 2) and it works, submit a PR here with the upgraded version in requirements.txt. (You can find out what versions you've got by using pip freeze).
