flexx fails with Python 3.14
flexx works with Python 3.13 and below in the leo-editor environment. With Python 3.14 it fails during startup as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):

can not import flexx
This crash is expected. Python 3.14 changed the API for asyncio.
FYI, Leo PR #4413 fixes Leo's server so that it works with Python 3.13. Similar changes might work for flexx.
